MOTTA, Juan Camilo; RODRIGUEZ, Camilo Andrés; CORTES, Camilo y ESCOBAR, Jaime. ACUTE TUBULOINTERSTITIAL NEPHRITIS DUE TO THE USE OF RIFAMPICIN. CASE REPORT. Case reports [online]. 2020, vol.6, n.1, pp.44-51. ISSN 2462-8522. https://doi.org/10.15446/cr.v6n1.80443.
Introduction:
Rifampin is a cornerstone for the first phase of the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis. This report presents the case of a patient with allergic tubulointerstitial nephritis (ATIN) due to rifampin, situation that has not been reported in Colombia.
Case presentation:
A male patient with a history of pulmonary tuberculosis treated with rifampin developed acute kidney injury. On admission, no evidence of abnormalities or history to explain the injury was found, but he did present tubular acidosis and associated Fanconi syndrome. The kidney injury was temporarily consistent with rifampicin use, and a kidney biopsy confirmed ATIN. The drug was suspended, resulting in improved kidney function.
Discussion:
ATIN as a side effect of rifampin is a scarcely reported disease. The risk of developing this condition should be considered when starting and restarting treatments with this medication.
Conclusion:
ATIN is one of the side effects of tuberculosis treatment. Albeit rare, it should be considered when starting tuberculosis medications.
