Amphetamine-induced acute renal failure

Abstract

A 32-year-old man had acute renal failure after ingesting amphetamines. The renal biopsy findings indicated acute interstitial nephritis. In contrast to other reports, which indicate an association between coexisting rhabdomyolysis, hyperpyrexia, or necrotizing angiitis and acute renal failure in amphetamine abusers, our case suggests that amphetamine alone may cause acute renal injury.
