    Amphetamine ingestion can cause acute kidney injury. A case study suggests amphetamines alone, without other factors like rhabdomyolysis, may lead to acute interstitial nephritis and renal failure.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Toxicology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Amphetamine abuse is a known risk factor for kidney damage.
    • Previous reports link amphetamine-associated acute kidney injury (AKI) to rhabdomyolysis, hyperpyrexia, or necrotizing angiitis.

    Observation:

    • A 32-year-old male presented with acute renal failure following amphetamine ingestion.
    • Renal biopsy revealed acute interstitial nephritis.

    Findings:

    • This case suggests amphetamine use itself can precipitate acute interstitial nephritis and AKI.
    • The absence of rhabdomyolysis, hyperpyrexia, or necrotizing angiitis in this patient differentiates it from prior reports.

    Implications:

    • Amphetamine-induced acute interstitial nephritis is a potential cause of AKI.

  • Clinicians should consider amphetamine toxicity in patients with unexplained AKI, even without other typical associated conditions.
