ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Lenalidomide is an immunomodulatory drug widely used in the treatment of multiple myeloma. Several cases of nephrotoxicity have been reported, but few have been documented histologically. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a case of acute interstitial nephritis to lenalidomide in a 62-year-old patient with multiple myeloma after administration of the second course of chemotherapy according to the protocol combining bortezomib, lenalidomide and dexamethasone. The outcome was quickly favorable after stopping lenalidomide, with corticosteroid therapy. CONCLUSION: Lenalidomide may be responsible for acute interstitial nephritis. When acute kidney injury occurs in myeloma, the nephrotoxicity of therapeutic agents should be considered in addition to the common causes of kidney failure. The chronology of events and the histological data are essential and guide the specific management.

ABSTRACT

Cette observation illustre un tableau de pseudo-hyperaldostéronisme primaire par intoxication à la réglisse révélé par une hypokaliémie sévère chez un monsieur de 56 ans dans un contexte d'HTA de découverte récente. L'interrogatoire a retrouvé une notion de consommation régulière quotidienne de pastis sans alcool d'environ un litre et le bilan endocrinien a trouvé une activité rénine plasmatique effondrée et une hypoaldostéronémie. L'hypokaliémie et l'HTA ont régressé au bout de trois mois avec l'arrêt de la consommation du pastis et à distance de tout traitement antihypertenseur. Les abus de la réglisse sont rarement mentionnés spontanément par les patients ou sont ignorés d'eux, d'où l'intérêt d'une anamnèse minutieuse


This patient illustrates a case of primary pseudo-hyperaldosteronism due to licorice intoxication revealed by severe hypokalemia in a 56-year-old man with newly discovered hypertension. Past medical history revealed a notion of regular consumption of pastis without alcohol (about one liter per day) and hormonal assessment showed a collapsed plasma renin activity and hypoaldosteronemia. Hypokalaemia and hypertension resolved three months after cessation of pastis consumption, without any antihypertensive treatment. The abuse of licorice is rarely mentioned spontaneously by patients or is ignored by them, hence the interest of a careful medical history.
