Am J Nephrol. 1991;11(2):144-6. doi: 10.1159/000168291.

Abstract

We report a case of biopsy-proven acute tubulointerstitial nephritis associated with a second course of flurbiprofen, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug of the propionic acid class. The clinical presentation and course was consistent with acute tubulointerstitial nephritis due to these agents.
