Abstract:
Although there has been considerable experience with interferons in the treatment of malignancy and viral illnesses, acute renal failure as a side-effect of interferon treatment has rarely been reported. We present the case of a patient who developed acute on chronic renal failure 16 months after the initiation of interferon alpha 2b for a metastatic carcinoid tumor.
