Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are important therapeutic agents in the management of rheumatologic disorders and other pain syndromes. Over the counter availability of the drugs has expanded the usage of the drugs. This article reviews the nephrotoxicity of these drugs, with some emphasis on NSAID-related proteinuria. Although reversibility of renal involvement upon drug discontinuance is the rule, progression to end-stage renal disease has occurred. A proposed guideline for monitoring renal impairment in low- and high-risk patients is also presented.

D000894 Anti-Inflammatory Agents, Non-Steroidal Anti-inflammatory agents that are non-steroidal in nature. In addition to anti-inflammatory actions, they have analgesic, antipyretic, and platelet-inhibitory actions. They act by blocking the synthesis of prostaglandins by inhibiting cyclooxygenase, which converts arachidonic acid to cyclic endoperoxides, precursors of prostaglandins. Inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis accounts for their analgesic, antipyretic, and platelet-inhibitory actions; other mechanisms may contribute to their anti-inflammatory effects.
