Abstract:
We describe the contribution of computed tomography in the determination of the renal damage after using tiaprofenic acid. Computed tomography realized six hours after injection of contrast medium revealed corticomedullary enhancement secondary to vascular and tubular stasis. This stasis is compatible with interstitial edema in relation with usually reversible lesions of tubulo-interstitial nephritis induced by of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
