Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Review Description
The extensive use of selective histamine H receptor antagonists provides a unique opportunity to describe very rare adverse drug reactions. Although mild elevation of serum creatinine level following the administration of cimetidine is relatively common, acute interstitial nephritis (AIN) is a rare hypersensitivity reaction. There have been 25 published reports of AIN associated with H antagonist therapy and we also identified 16 cases from the Australian Adverse Drug Reaction Advisory Committee (ADRAC) database. AIN was reported most commonly following cimetidine administration. AIN was supported by renal biopsy in 28 patients and by rechallenge in 6. H antagonist-induced AIN was more commonly reported in men older than 50 years. In the majority of cases the onset was within 2 weeks of initiation of therapy (1 day to 11 months). The clinical manifestations were nonspecific including sterile pyuria, elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate, fatigue, proteinuria and leucocytosis whereas rash, arthralgia and flank pain were rarely reported. There were 170 cases of hepatotoxicity following H antagonist administration reported to ADRAC. These were more common following ranitidine and included cholestatic, hepatocellular and mixed reactions. Hepatotoxicity was proven following liver biopsy in several cases published in the literature and in 15 cases reported to ADRAC. Hepatotoxicity recurred upon rechallenge in 6 cases. Generally, renal and hepatic adverse effects resolved quickly after cessation of H antagonist therapy and did not require specific treatment. Nephrotoxicity and hepatotoxicity following administration of an H antagonist is rare and a high index of suspicion is necessary for early detection. Now that many H antagonists are available over the counter, awareness of these conditions and early detection with cessation of H antagonist therapy would appear paramount.
