Abstract

In a prospective study performed on patients admitted to the medical and renal wards of General Hospital, Kuala Lumpur, over a period of 14 months from January 1982, we documented 12 new cases of analgesic nephropathy (AN). Since then up to July 1986, we have documented a further 16 cases of AN giving a total of 28 cases over a four-and-a-half-year period.
