Abstract

Three patients who developed acute nephropathy following ingestion of triphenyltin acetate (TPTA) are described. All of them had significant proteinuria, azotemia, and polyuria. Mild neurological manifestations in all patients were also noted. Hematuria and pyuria were noted in 1 severely poisoned patient. Evidence for hepatitis was present in 2 patients, and for pancreatitis in 1. Renal biopsy showed focal fusion of glomerular cell processes and proximal tubular damage with cellular necrosis. Two patients survived with complete recovery of renal functions. One old patient died of aspiration pneumonia. Acute nephropathy following organotin intoxication appears to result mainly from proximal renal tubular damage with a benign and reversible clinical course.
