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).

Keywords : rheumatoid arthritis; granulomatous interstitial nephritis; adalimumab; anti-TNF.
