Drug-induced kidney injury is common in daily practice but it is difficult to diagnosis. Kidney is a major target organ for drugs because drugs are excreted through the kidney. Diagnosis of drug-induced kidney injury is made by clinical history and laboratory investigations including blood and urine tests, imaging studies and other specific examinations such as drug induced lymphocyte stimulation test and urine eosinophils, but a definite diagnosis is difficult. There is no specific therapy in most cases beyond hydration and/or dose adjustment patients with decreased kidney function.
