“…In the past, ulcer surgery (highly selective vagotomy with pyloroplasty) was recommended for patients with a history of ulceration; more recently, cimetidine therapy has to some extent supplanted vagotomy, although nephrotoxicity has been reported. 27 In the 1974-1979 Denver patients, we have not found chronic liver failure to be a major cause of death, in contrast to the experience at other centers, including the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital in Boston. 28 Although the follow-up period in this Denver series is shorter than in the Boston report, it is not clear why death from chronic liver failure was not observed in Denver.…”

“…Compared with non-users, H2RA users had a 35% higher risk of HA-AKI in our study. Indeed, the nephrotoxicity of H2RAs has been described in a number of sporadic case reports since 1977 (43,(48)(49)(50). However, two recent cohort studies in adults failed to find the significant association between H2RAs and AKI (42,51).…”

“…These interactions with cimetidine are clinically significant because a decrease in drug clearance may lead to an increase in adverse effects, especially in the elderly and in those with impaired renal function. Numerous cases of acute interstitial nephritis have been reported with cimetidine therapy (Handa 1986;Kaye et al 1983;McGowan & Vermillion 1980;Richman et al 1981;Rudnick et al 1982). Renal biopsies of those cases all showed typical features of interstitial nephritis with infiltrates consisting of plasma cells, lymphocytes and eosinophils.…”
