Abstract
RESTREPO-VALENCIA, César Augusto; MARTINEZ-ARISTIZABAL, Juan David and FLOREZ-VARGAS, Adriana. Granulomatous interstitial nephritis secondary to the use of the anti-TNF adalimumab. Acta Med Colomb [online]. 2021, vol.46, n.3, pp.67-69. Epub Mar 30, 2022. ISSN 0120-2448. https://doi.org/10.36104/amc.2021.2050.
We present the case of a 56-year-old patient with progressive kidney function deterioration whose kidney biopsy reported granulomatous interstitial nephritis. The medical chart was reviewed, and it was noted that the deterioration coincided with the initiation of the medication adalimumab. It was discontinued and steroid plus cytostatic treatment was begun, with improvement. (Acta Med Colomb 2021; 46. DOI:https://doi.org/10.36104/amc.2021.2050).
