Therapeutic agents induce acute renal failure (ARF) by promoting various types of injury to the kidney. Acute interstitial nephritis (AIN) develops from medications that incite an allergic reaction, leading to interstitial inflammation and tubular damage. Acute tubular necrosis (ATN) is a dose-dependent process that develops from direct toxicity on tubular epithelia, typically in the absence of inflammation. Additional, less common patterns of drug-induced renal injury include osmotic nephropathy, crystal nephropathy, and acute nephrocalcinosis. This review focuses on the multitude of patterns of drug-induced renal failure due to tubulointerstitial disease.

Background: Turmeric and boswellia supplements have gained popularity for their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It is important to critically assess the safety of such supplements for prolonged use.
Objectives: To assess the safety and tolerability of turmeric-boswellia-sesame oil formulation (TBSF) in healthy human volunteers.

Unlabelled: Despite the fact that canagliflozin (Cana), a sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor, is an anti-diabetic medication with additional effects on the kidney, there is limited experimental data to deliberate its hepato-reno-protective potentiality. Acetaminophen (APAP) overdose remains one of the prominent contributors to hepato-renal damage.
Aim: Our study assessed the novel effect of Cana against APAP-induced toxicities.

Objectives: Drug-induced thrombocytopenia has been reported for numerous drugs. Vancomycin-induced thrombocytopenia (VIT) is infrequently and often under-recognized. VIT can lead to the serious consequences of some life-threatening bleeding, especially in high-risk population.

Ensartinib is a highly effective oral anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) inhibitor utilized in the treatment of ALK-positive lung adenocarcinoma. This report presents a case of acute renal failure attributed to the administration of ensartinib.

Introduction: Tacrolimus-induced thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) causing acute kidney injury (AKI) without systemic features is a rare entity, particularly after non-renal solid organ transplantation.
Case Report: We describe the case of a patient with AKI after combined heart and lung transplantation. Renal biopsy revealed acute thrombotic microangiopathy which ultimately prompted initiation of eculizumab, a monoclonal antibody targeted against complement C5, with subsequent recovery in renal function.
