The patient described by Wattad et al is quite similar to the two children we describe.1 Once again the striking features are acute flank pain and nonoliguric renal dysfunction. The renal biopsy demonstrates mild interstitial nephritis. We believe that knowledge of the association of this clinical syndrome with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug use will make renal biopsy (and its potential complications) unnecessary in evaluating future cases. We strongly suspect that this condition is much more common than previously recognized.

We read with great interest the two case reports by McIntire et al 1 on "Acute Flank Pain and Reversible Renal Dysfunction Associated with Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug Use." We also treated a 14-year-old healthy girl who had acute severe bilateral flank pain and nonoliguric acute renal failure. The patient's flank pain and vomiting started 4 days before admission. A diagnosis of possible urinary tract infection was made and amoxicillin therapy was instituted. Her past medical history was unremarkable except for an uncomplicated urinary tract infection 6 years earlier.

Two children with nephrotic syndrome in association with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) use are described, and the literature concerning this association is reviewed. NSAIDs are drugs with the potential for causing significant renal toxicity including the nephrotic syndrome, interstitial nephritis, and renal failure even in children without obvious preceding renal disease. Children prescribed such drugs should be regularly monitored with urinalyses and plasma creatinine estimations. The possibility of toxicity to over-the-counter use of NSAIDs should be remembered.
