Abstract:

Madder or Rubia tinctorum called in Morocco ELFOUA is a plant belonging to the Rubiaceae family. Used in Morocco for its cosmetic food and therapeutic properties in particularly anemia and all blood diseases. It can be toxic if it is incorrectly dosed. We report 3 cases of nephrotoxicity collected in the nephrology and hemodialysis service of the IBNROCHD university hospital center
in Casablanca: 3 women aged 15, 39 and 47 years, following the ingestion of infusion of this plant at doses indeterminate, presented with acute tubule-interstitial nephritis. These new cases of nephrotoxicity at Rubia tinctorum must challenge the need to know how to evoke the diagnosis, to inform, to fight against the trivialization of its consumption, to encourage research on the traditional pharmacopoeia allowing to identify their therapeutic properties in order to formalize, rationalize and codify their prescriptions.
