Phenylbutazone-induced systemic vasculitis with crescentic glomerulonephritis.

A C Leung, A McLay, J W Dobbie

    Archives of Internal Medicine
    |April 1, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary

    Phenylbutazone can cause systemic vasculitis syndrome, leading to acute kidney injury. Prompt withdrawal of the drug and immunosuppressive therapy may aid in renal function recovery.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Rheumatology
    • Toxicology

    Background:

    • Systemic vasculitis is a rare but serious condition.
    • Drug-induced vasculitis requires prompt identification and management.
    • Phenylbutazone is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug with known potential adverse effects.

    Observation:

    • Two patients presented with acute oliguric renal failure.
    • Renal biopsies revealed severe crescentic glomerulonephritis.
    • Significant interstitial inflammatory cell infiltration was noted.

    Findings:

    • The patients' condition was attributed to phenylbutazone-induced systemic vasculitis syndrome.
    • Withdrawal of phenylbutazone was initiated.
    • Treatment included immunosuppressives and plasma exchange.

    Implications:

    • Early recognition of phenylbutazone-induced vasculitis is crucial for managing renal failure.
    • Combined therapeutic strategies, including drug cessation and immunosuppression, can lead to favorable outcomes.
    • This case highlights the importance of considering drug toxicity in patients with unexplained glomerulonephritis.
