ABSTRACT
Chemical pleurodesis is a frequently performed procedure for pneumothorax and effusion and significant adverse effects are unusual. We present a previously unreported case of acute renal failure associated with tetracycline pleurodesis. Recent studies have shown that intrapleural drug administration may lead to therapeutic serum levels. Systemic toxic drug effects may therefore be noted with chemical pleurodesants such as tetracycline. Alternative methods of pleurodesis should always be considered if a sensitivity or metabolic abnormality is suspected.
