Drug-induced renal disease.
Many pharmacologic agents affect the kidney, but special attention should be paid to four classes: aminoglycoside antibiotics, radiocontrast agents, ACE inhibitors, and NSAIDs. Iatrogenic complications associated with these agents include acute renal failure, acute interstitial nephritis, and prerenal failure, which are frequently reversible with early diagnosis.
