It predominantly impacts the renal, dermatologic, hematologic, and hepatic systems Defining clinical and pathophysiologic features include crystalluria leading to obstructive acute kidney injury and nephrolithiasis due to the precipitation of insoluble drug metabolites in acidic urine, idiosyncratic severe cutaneous adverse reactions such as Stevens-Johnson syndrome or toxic epidermal necrolysis, bone marrow suppression manifesting as leukopenia, agranulocytosis, or thrombocytopenia, and kernict...

Defining clinical and pathophysiologic features include crystalluria leading to obstructive acute kidney injury and nephrolithiasis due to the precipitation of insoluble drug metabolites in acidic urine, idiosyncratic severe cutaneous adverse reactions such as Stevens-Johnson syndrome or toxic epidermal necrolysis, bone marrow suppression manifesting as leukopenia, agranulocytosis, or thrombocytopenia, and kernicterus in neonates secondary to displacement of bilirubin from albumin binding sites
