    Journal: Am J Kidney Dis; 2003 May; 41(5):E17. PubMed ID: 12778435.
    Abstract:
    Zopiclone, a relatively new nonbenzodiazepine short-acting hypnotic medication is prescribed frequently for insomnia. The authors report a case of zopiclone-induced acute interstitial nephritis in a young, otherwise healthy man. The patient presented with anuric acute renal failure requiring hemodialysis. Kidney biopsy results showed acute interstitial nephritis with a prominent eosinophilic infiltrate in the interstitium. He recovered his renal function after stopping the medication and receiving corticosteroids.
