Filter by:Drug-induced acute interstitial nephritis (DAIN) is a rare entity characterized by acute renal failure linked to inflammation of the renal parenchyma secondary to allergenic drug exposure. Treatment is based primarily on the precise identification of the causative drug and its final elimination. Currently, the identification of the causative drug is based on clinical presumption. There is no test to formally identify the causative drug. On the other hand, in-vitro allergological tests (lymphocyte transformation test in particular) have been developed in the course of immuno-allergic drug toxiderma linked to delayed type IV hypersensitivity to identify the causal drug. These tests have not been studied during DAIN, but their value in drug-induced eruption is indisputable. The objective of our study is to determine whether in vitro allergy tests can identify the causative drug during DAIN. If the in vitro tests fail, they will be supplemented by allergological skin tests.
A Prospective randomized trial with a primary objective to investigate the effect ofprdenisolone treatment in acute interstitial nephritis
To support advances in the understanding of pathophysiology and therapies of kidney diseases by creating a BioBank of kidney tissue, DNA, plasma, and urine from patients with kidney diseases.
The aim of the study is to create a self-questionnaire to evaluate sodium and potassium diet in chronic kidney disease patients. Questionnaires will be compared to 24h sodium and potassium urinary excretion (reference) A Bayesian network and a multiple regression will be used to select the most relevant items
It has recently been described the presence of a urinary inflammatory signature in patients with cystinuria, the most common cause of renal lithiasis of genetical origin. These data are very innovative in this pathology but deserve further studies to establish the specificity of this inflammatory signature in patients with cystinuria compared to other nephropathies and other renal lithiasis diseases. Moreover, the effect of the usual treatment of cystinuria (namely urine alkalanization) on urinary inflammatory biomarkers deserves to be tested. The objectives of the present study are: i) To study the urinary inflammatory profile by mass spectrometry (a very efficient tool to detect and identify proteins) in patients with cystinuria and in patients with lithiasis of other origin and in patients with inflammatory renal disease ; ii) To study the potential effect of urine alkalinazation with potassium citrate (usual treatment according to European recommendations) on the inflammatory signature of patients with cystinuria. To this aim, urine of non treated cystinuric patients will be collected before treatement initiation and 3 months after the start of the alkalizing treatment.
The investigators goal is to evaluate the role of XOLAIR® in treatment of Acute Tubulointerstitial Nephritis (AIN) with the goal of shortening the duration and dose of prednisone for treatment of drug-induced AIN. Currently there is no good treatment for drug-induced AIN. Prednisone is the standard treatment but is associated with many side-effects when used long-term and at high doses.
The purpose of this study is 1. To describe patient characteristics and drug usage among children that are prescribed esomeprazole for the first time and to compare them with patients who are prescribed other proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) or H2-receptor antagonists for the first time. 2. To ascertain all incident hospitalized cases of angioneurotic oedema, pneumonia, gastroenteritis, failure to thrive, convulsions/seizures, acute interstitial nephritis and thrombocytopenia among new users in the three cohorts of esomeprazole, other PPIs and H2-receptor antagonists.
The aim of this study is to identify families with hereditary chronic tubulointerstitial renal diseases , characterize the phenotype and screen for mutations in known genesis (UMOD, REN, TCF2, NPHP1). Genome wide analysis will be performed in families without mutations identified.
