Acute Kidney Injury Following Methimazole Initiation: A Case Report.
    Journal of pharmacy practice, 2020, Volume: 33, Issue:1

    Nephritis has been rarely associated with methimazole, primarily in the development of nephrotic syndrome. We describe a case of acute kidney injury without evidence of nephrotic syndrome following methimazole initiation.. We present the relevant history, laboratory data, and nuclear medicine data and review relevant documentation from the literature.. A 72-year-old male recently diagnosed with new-onset atrial fibrillation was found to have suppressed thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels; elevated free T. Acute kidney injury with or without the presence of nephrotic syndrome may occur during treatment with methimazole. Renal function should be closely monitored after the initiation of methimazole to prevent progressive renal dysfunction.
