A case is presented of a woman with drug disease related to the use of non-steroid antiinflammatory drugs. The disease was manifested by combined impairment of several organs and systems: arthralgia, febrility, anorexia, fibroscopic data for superficial gastritis, iron deficiency anemia, angiospastic syndrome, impairement of the liver and the kidneys. The renal lesions differed from the usual for such cases tubulointerstitial changes and a mild mesangioproliferative glomerulonephritis without manifested clinical symptoms was found. Discontinuance of the treatment with the non-steroid antiinflammatory drugs lead to the disappearance of the complaints and normalization of all laboratory indices.
