Summary

Proton pump inhibitors can cause acute interstitial nephritis, a kidney condition. This study reports the first case of rabeprazole-induced acute interstitial nephritis, highlighting a potential drug-induced kidney injury risk.

Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Acute interstitial nephritis (AIN) is an important cause of acute kidney injury.
  • Drug-induced AIN is a significant clinical concern, with proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) being the most frequently implicated drug class.

Observation:

  • This report details the first documented case of rabeprazole-induced AIN.
  • The patient presented with symptoms indicative of acute renal failure.

Findings:

  • Rabeprazole, a commonly used proton pump inhibitor, was identified as the causative agent.
  • Histopathological examination confirmed acute interstitial nephritis.

Implications:

  • Clinicians should consider rabeprazole as a potential cause of AIN in patients presenting with acute kidney injury.
