Acute tubulointerstitial nephritis associated with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody following cimetidine treatment: a case report

Keita Morimoto et al.

Summary: This case describes an older woman who developed ATIN associated with MPO-ANCA following cimetidine treatment. Despite discontinuing cimetidine, renal injury persisted with high MPO-ANCA titers, but improved with oral steroid treatment. This suggests that ANCA-associated ATIN can be caused by cimetidine and emphasizes the importance of serological monitoring and renal biopsy in cases of drug-induced ATIN.
