Acute oliguria associated with chlorprothixene overdosage

W Scheithauer et al. Nephron. 1988.

Abstract

The occurrence of acute reversible oliguria is described in a 23-year-old male after ingestion of 1,500 mg of chlorprothixene in a suicidal attempt. In contrast to earlier reports hypothesizing that the pathophysiology of the renal insufficiency associated with chlorprothixene intoxication may be attributed to direct nephrotoxic effects of the compound or to ischaemia owing to transitory unrecognized shock, a careful diagnostic work-up including renal biopsy, disclosed the presence of acute interstitial nephritis.
