  • Title: Rare allergic reaction of the kidney: sitagliptin-induced acute tubulointerstitial nephritis.
    Author: Alsaad AA, Dhannoon SM, Pantin SA, Porter IE.
    Journal: BMJ Case Rep; 2016 Jul 19; 2016():. PubMed ID: 27436034.
    Abstract:
    A 56-year-old man with a history of diabetes mellitus type-2 and stage-2 chronic kidney disease secondary to diabetic nephropathy presented with an acute deterioration of kidney function. Non-invasive work-up failed to reveal the underlying aetiology for the acute kidney failure. Kidney biopsy revealed acute tubulointerstitial nephritis (ATIN) which was attributed to sitagliptin use. Only few case reports have shown this correlation. Our aim is to alert physicians and other providers of the potential effect of sitagliptin to cause ATIN with this biopsy-proven case.
