Pantoprazole Induced Acute Interstitial Nephritis in a Patient with Diabetic Ketoacidosis.

Childhood-onset type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM) is a common chronic metabolic disease associated with life-threatening complications. Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is an acute complication of type 1 DM that has significant mortality mostly due to cerebral edema. Other putative complications of DKA include hypokalemia, hypophosphatemia, hypoglycemia, intracerebral and peripheral venous thrombosis, rhabdomyolysis, acute pancreatitis, and acute kidney injury (AKI) (Murdoch IA et al., Acta Paediatr 1993; 82:498-500).
