Rifampicin is a widely used anti-tuberculosis agent. On rare occasions, the drug can cause adverse effects such as acute renal failure, though most regain complete renal function upon discontinuation of therapy. The following case report describes a 38 year old Hispanic male presenting with pulmonary tuberculosis who developed rifampicin-induced renal toxicity. He recovered renal function upon discontinuation of the medication without the use of corticosteroids.
利福平是一种广泛使用的抗结核药物。在极少数情况下，该药物可引起诸如急性肾衰竭等不良反应，不过大多数患者在停药后肾功能可完全恢复。以下病例报告描述了一名38岁的西班牙裔男性，患有肺结核，出现了利福平诱导的肾毒性。他在停药后未使用皮质类固醇的情况下恢复了肾功能。
