Occasional case descriptions of hematuria, papillary necrosis, and micturition disorders have also been recorded. Curt and associates (4) have reported a case of acute renal failure with nephrotic syndrome accompanied with features of fever, elevated sedimentation rate, and eosinophilia secondary to a hypersensitivity reaction to fenoprofen calcium. My observations on the following two cases are pertinent to their report.A 72-year-old woman received fenoprofen calcium (Nalfon; Eli Lilly & Company, Indianapolis, Indiana), 600 mg three...References1.
