Drug-induced acute renal failure has been reported in relation to many drugs, the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents included. A case is described in which allergic acute interstitial nephritis (AIN) was caused by tolmetin. Although the use of steroids has been recommended in AIN they were not used for this patient, who made a complete recovery.
