Abstract
Although there has been considerable experience with interferons in clinical trials during the past decade, acute renal failure as a side effect of interferon treatments has rarely been reported. We report a case in which acute renal failure with nephrotic syndrome was associated with therapy with two types of interferons. We note incomplete return of renal function upon withdrawal of therapy.
