Rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis during antituberculous therapy.

D J Hirsch, F J Bia, M Kashgarian

    American Journal of Nephrology
    |January 1, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary

    Continuous daily isoniazid and rifampin therapy for tuberculosis can cause acute renal failure. This case highlights severe glomerular damage, expanding the known spectrum of kidney injury from antitubercular drugs.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Pharmacology

    Background:

    • Tuberculosis treatment often involves isoniazid and rifampin.
    • Rifampin's renal toxicity is documented, primarily with intermittent dosing.
    • Continuous daily antitubercular therapy is standard for pulmonary tuberculosis.

    Observation:

    • A patient on continuous daily isoniazid and rifampin developed acute renal failure within 3 weeks.
    • Renal biopsy revealed rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis with minor interstitial changes.

    Findings:

    • This case demonstrates severe glomerular pathology, unlike previously reported interstitial/tubular lesions.
    • Continuous, daily antitubercular therapy, specifically rifampin, is associated with significant glomerular damage.

    Implications:

    • The spectrum of renal lesions from antitubercular drugs, especially rifampin, may be broader than initially understood.
    • Clinicians should consider glomerular pathology in patients with acute renal failure during continuous antitubercular therapy.
    • Further research is warranted to elucidate the mechanisms of rifampin-induced glomerulonephritis.
