Abstract

Chronic tubulointerstitial nephritis (CTIN) is one of the main causes for end-stage renal disease. Pathologic findings are characterized by tubular atrophy and interstitial fibrosis. Although CTIN has been recognized to have a number of causes, in current clinical practice, analgesic drugs are the most common cause in children. In this report we would like to emphasize that excessive and unnecessary usage of analgesic drugs in pediatrics may lead to renal failure and pediatricians should be aware of this fact.
