Ergotamine-induced acute tubulo-interstitial nephritis.

Abstract
Ergotamine has been used for the treatment of migraine for many years, and its use in adults is considered to be safe and effective. In this report, we present a 22-year-old female patient, a known case of migraine, who was on ergotamine tartrate and presented with hypertension and renal failure. Renal biopsy indicated features of acute tubulo-interstitital nephritis.
