Abstract
A 74-year-old woman developed acute renal failure and granulomatous in terstitial nephritis associated with hydrochlorothiazide/amiloride. On stopping the drug the renal function improved, but not significantly. Around 20 months after prednisone administration, the renal function had stabilized, with a moderate degree of renal insufficiency. The cas e is discussed, and some aspects of acute interstitial nephritis induc ed by diuretics are briefly reviewed.
