[Drug side effects on the kidney].
That the kidneys are vulnerable to damage by drugs is due to functional and morphological factors. Nephrotoxic reactions due to drugs may affect each segment of the nephron, the medullary interstitium and the renal vasculature, resulting in different nephrotoxic syndromes. The drug-induced nephropathies of special clinical importance are reviewed and the most common nephrotoxic agents mentioned.
