lüll Review article: interstitial nephritis associated with the use of mesalazine in inflammatory bowel disease Corrigan G; Stevens PEAliment Pharmacol Ther 2000[Jan]; 14 (1): 1-65-Aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) has replaced sulphasalazine as first line therapy for mild to moderately active inflammatory bowel disease and is widely used. A number of reports have linked oral 5-ASA therapy to chronic tubulo-interstitial nephritis and this relationship is now well established. Despite increasing recognition of the potential for this serious adverse event, guidelines for monitoring renal function in patients prescribed 5-ASA preparations are not widely employed. Whilst the incidence of this adverse event in the population of patients with inflammatory bowel disease treated with mesalazine is low, the morbidity in an affected individual is high with some cases progressing to end-stage renal disease. Routine monitoring of renal function is simple and inexpensive and could prevent this outcome. Based on the available data, serum creatinine should be estimated prior to commencing treatment, monthly for the first 3 months, 3-monthly for the next 9 months, 6-monthly thereafter and annually after 5 years of treatment.|Anti-Inflammatory Agents, Non-Steroidal/*adverse effects/therapeutic use[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Inflammatory Bowel Diseases/*complications/drug therapy[MESH]|Mesalamine/*adverse effects/therapeutic use[MESH]|Nephritis, Interstitial/*chemically induced/pathology[MESH] |
