title: [Drug-induced kidney damage].
abstract: Drug-related renal damage is manifold in its origin, clinical picture and prognosis. The disorder can manifest itself as a purely functional phenomenon with tubular elimination of amino acids, enzymes, protein, glucose and electrolytes, or it is due to reversible hemodynamic changes; on the other hand, it may be accompanied by cell necrosis and inflammation. Hemodynamic, toxic, immunologic, or mechanically obstructive mechanisms or a combination of these play a pathogenetic role. It is important to know the renal parameters before and monitor them during treatment with nephrotoxic drugs; to avoid concomitant administration of two or more nephrotoxic drugs; and to make the diagnosis as well as terminate exposure rapidly.
