Acute focal bacterial nephritis is a part of urinary tract infection and a special form of acute pyelonephritis. In most cases, it is treated well by antimicrobial therapy without severe complications. Unusual cases have been reported that renal failure and or chronic granulomatous interstitial nephritis was combined with acute focal bacterial nephritis. We describe a case of acute reanl failure complicated by acute focal bacterial nephritis in 30-year-old male. He was admitted to this hospital owing to fever, chilling, right flank pain. On admission, BUN and creatinine were 29 mg/dl, 1.8 mg/dl. Urinalysis showed leukocyturia, & bactriuria. Urine culture revealed E. coli over us. Abdominal CT and ultrasonography was represented focal hypodense area and diffuse renal enlargement so we could diagnose acute focal bacterial nephritis. The patient was improved with antimicrobial therapy and hydration. In conclusion, this case shows the possibility that unusual complication such as acute reanl failure can be happensed in acute focal bacterial nephritis in continum with acute pyelonephritis

Although cimetidine causes a transient rise in serum creatinine without reduction of renal function, acute renal failure due to acute interstitial nephritis is rare in patients after cimetidine treatment. We here present a case of acute renal failure and acute interstitial nephritis that occurred during cimetidine treatment. A 38-year old woman was referred to our hospital because of nausea and general weakness. She had been taking cimetidine for 3 weeks because of epigasric discomfort. On admission, serum creatinine was 3.9 mg/dL and urinalysis showed mild proteinuria and hematuria. There was no history of pyelonephritis, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, toxin exposure. Renal biopsy showed severe interstitial infiltration of lymphocytes without definite glomerular change. After withdrawal of cimetidine, renal function completely recovered.
