Özet

Acetaminophen induced nephrotoxicity is not a frequent consequence of acetaminophen overdose. The pathophysiology has been attributed to oxidative stress. Here, we report a 16-year-old female patient who developed non-oliguric acute renal failure without hepatotoxicity following ingestion of 14 tablets of 500 mg acetaminophen and recovered spontaneously in a week.
