Article Abstract

Metamizole is primarily used for severe perioperative pain, acute injury and colic, and cancer pain. For other acute/chronic forms of pain and high fever, it should only be used if unresponsive to other agents. Metamizole should not be used for middle and low pain. Oral application should be preferred. A contraindication for metamizole is leukopenia. Clinical signs for agranulocytosis are fever, tonsillitis and aphthous stomatitis.

Homogentisic acid (HGA) accumulation in alkaptonuria (AKU) causes injuries in various organs including the kidney.

Despite 1 month of ramipril treatment, the patient's proteinuria progressed, and as a result, kidney biopsy and nitisinone treatment were planned.
