Kidney Failure, Acute A clinical syndrome characterized by a sudden decrease in glomerular filtration rate, often to values of less than 1 to 2 ml per minute.

In an NIH workshop summary report on the relation between asthma therapy and Churg-Strauss syndrome, the authors concluded that no one compound or class of antiasthmatic agents was solely implicated. An association was found for pranlukast, montelukast, zafirlukast, the 5-lipoxygenase inhibitor zUeuton, inhaled...
