Nephrotoxicity or renal side effects of drugs are frequent and may vary in their clinical presentation. Various types of acute and chronic kidney disease are known to develop as a consequence or side effect of a long list of drugs with nephrotoxicity most commonly being associated with injury in the tubulointerstitial compartment. In addition, drug-induced glomerular and vascular disease have also been reported, either as the result of direct cellular injury or immune-mediated injury to glomerular or endothelial cells. From a clinical point of view it is important to recognize such drug-induced nephropathies early in order to prevent or adequately treat them to favour kidney recovery and to avoid long-lasting negative consequences for kidney function.This article will focus on the typical morphology and pathogenesis of some frequent drug-induced renal diseases.
