Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and renal failure. 1986

D H Adams, and A J Howie, and J Michael, and B McConkey, and P A Bacon, and D Adu

In 3 years seventeen patients presented to one unit with renal failure associated with the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID). Seven patients presented with acute renal failure, in four due to acute tubular necrosis and in three to acute interstitial nephritis; all recovered when NSAID treatment was stopped. Four patients presented with symptomless renal impairment discovered during routine follow-up in a rheumatology clinic; again all improved on withdrawal of NSAID. The remaining six patients presented with chronic renal failure, a disorder not previously associated with NSAID treatment. The pattern of renal disease associated with NSAID may be more extensive than has previously been recognised. A history of NSAID use should be sought in all patients presenting with unexplained renal failure.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007676 Kidney Failure, Chronic The end-stage of CHRONIC RENAL INSUFFICIENCY. It is characterized by the severe irreversible kidney damage (as measured by the level of PROTEINURIA) and the reduction in GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE to less than 15 ml per min (Kidney Foundation: Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative, 2002). These patients generally require HEMODIALYSIS or KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION.

D007683 Kidney Tubular Necrosis, Acute Acute kidney failure resulting from destruction of EPITHELIAL CELLS of the KIDNEY TUBULES. It is commonly attributed to exposure to toxic agents or renal ISCHEMIA following severe TRAUMA.

D009395 Nephritis, Interstitial Inflammation of the interstitial tissue of the kidney. This term is generally used for primary inflammation of KIDNEY TUBULES and/or surrounding interstitium. For primary inflammation of glomerular interstitium, see GLOMERULONEPHRITIS. Infiltration of the inflammatory cells into the interstitial compartment results in EDEMA, increased spaces between the tubules, and tubular renal dysfunction.
