Oxaliplatin-induced acute tubulointerstitial nephritis: Two case reports .

Oxaliplatin is a platinum compound commonly used in the treatment of advanced colorectal cancer. This report describes two patients who had received repetitive combination chemotherapy including oxaliplatin for the treatment of metastatic colon cancer and who visited the emergency department with acute kidney injury several days after experiencing a hypersensitivity reaction to oxaliplatin. In both cases, the pathologic diagnosis was acute tubulointerstitial nephritis, and corticosteroid therapy resulted in improved renal function. Induction of acute tubulointerstitial nephritis by oxaliplatin has rarely been reported.
