Objectives: To describe the incidence of AKI for each drug type and their combinations. To define the profile of patients admitted for drug-related AKI secondary to Triple Whammy drugs (AKITW), with an assessment of costs and mortality.

- Intolerance to fava beans in people with glucose-6-phosphate-dehydrogenase deficiency can cause severe hemolysis and kidney damage.
- A case study reveals acute kidney injury linked to favism, showing renal biopsy results of tubular necrosis and significant iron deposits in kidney cells.
- The presence of oxidative stress markers and specific immune cells indicate both glomerular and tubular damage, suggesting new treatment approaches for recovery from acute kidney injury in these patients.
