Popis: NSAIDs are among the most commonly prescribed medications in the United States. NSAID associated kidney disease presents in various ways including ischemic acute kidney injury, nephrotic syndrome, and analgesic nephropathy. Elderly patients and patients who are also on diuretics and/or renin angiotensin aldosterone system blockade are at higher risk of developing NSAIDs associated kidney disease. Additionally, NSAIDs negatively impact blood pressure. Unfortunately, there is no currently effective therapy for the prevention of NSAIDS associated kidney disease. Proposed preventative strategies are discussed.
