ABSTRACT
In this article, the proposal to rename “Chinese herbs nephropathy” was reviewed. Prolonged use of Chinese herbs that contain aristolochic acid may induce tubulo-interstitial disorders.

Professor Vanherweghem, who is the first author to write about this disease, also used the name “Aristolochia nephropathy.”
