Early identification of drug-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) is essential to prevent renal damage. The renal tubules are typically the first to exhibit damage, frequently accompanied by changes in renal tubular transporters. With this in mind, we have identified an endogenous substrate of the renal tubular transporters that may serve as a biomarker for early detection of drug-induced AKI.

This case report details the journey of a 51-year-old man residing in a remote Iranian village, involved in livestock rearing, who was hospitalized due to Brucellosis contracted from consuming traditional cheese and dairy products. Initially treated with doxycycline and rifampin, complications arose during antituberculosis therapy, with the patient developing symptoms of nausea, vomiting, and edema alongside renal function deterioration necessitating medication cessation. Subsequent manifestations of proteinuria, toxic hepatitis, and nephrotic syndrome prompted renal biopsy, revealing drug-induced glomerular and tubular damage.

Gemcitabine-induced thrombotic micro-angiopathy (GiTMA) is a very rare pathology of micro-vascular occlusion with a poor prognosis. In this case report, we present a young male with pancreatic carcinoma who received gemcitabine as adjuvant chemotherapy and developed thrombotic micro-angiopathy (TMA) manifesting as nephrotic syndrome with renal dysfunction and posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES). The case was successfully managed with discontinuation of the drug and conservative management.

Drug-induced kidney diseases represent a wide range of diseases that are responsible for a significant proportion of all acute kidney injuries and chronic kidney diseases. In the present review, we focused on drug-induced glomerular diseases, more precisely podocytopathies - minimal change diseases (MCD), focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) - and membranous nephropathies (MN), from a physiological and a pharmacological point of view. The glomerular filtration barrier is composed of podocytes that form foot processes tightly connected and directly in contact with the basal membrane and surrounding capillaries.

Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis associated with the use of the IL-23 inhibitor guselkumab.

We report a case of a 38-year-old man who developed a nephrotic syndrome shortly after the start of guselkumab for the treatment of plaque psoriasis. Renal biopsy showed focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS). The clinical course of our case is highly suspect for drug-induced FSGS since the nephrotic syndrome resolved after cessation of the drug without relapse (2 years of follow-up).
