Glomerulonephritis

Medication induced kidney injury can take on many forms including tubule-interstitial disease, acute hemodynamic mediated injury, nephrolithiasis or crystalline nephropathy, or glomerulonephritis. Glomerular disease caused by medication will present similarly with proteinuria, hematuria, and decreased clearance. Glomerular histologic patterns that encompass medication induced glomerular disease include minimal change disease, membranous nephropathy, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, vasculitis, drug induced lupus, and thrombotic microangiopathy. Once identified as medication-related, treatment usually involves discontinuation of the medication, and additional interventions may be used for specific drugs or disease severity.
