Abstract

In a 74-year-old man with chronic renal failure, Clomethacine therapy was followed, on two different occasions, by transient exacerbation of renal failure. Once therapy was discontinued, serum creatinine levels returned to normal. The chronologic evidence and data from the literature confirm the responsibility of Clomethacine.
