  • Title: Analgesic and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug-associated acute renal failure: a prospective collaborative study.
    Author: Kleinknecht D, Landais P, Goldfarb B.
    Journal: Clin Nephrol; 1986 Jun; 25(6):275-81. PubMed ID: 2873910.
    Abstract:
    During a one-year period analgesic and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug-(NSAID) associated acute renal failure (ARF) was recorded in 147 of 398 patients registered in 58 nephrology units. This figure represented 36.9% of drug-associated ARF, and 6.8% of total patients with ARF hospitalized during the same period. Drugs involved were primarily glafenin (79), NSAID (62), paracetamol (5) and phenacetin (1 case). Hypersensitivity reactions were documented in 32 patients. Acute tubular necrosis was found in 20, and interstitial nephritis (AIN) in 9 of 34 biopsied patients. All patients in the glafenin group and 71.4% in the NSAID group recovered fully or regained previous renal function (p less than 0.01). Permanent renal damage (9.5% of total cases) was more frequent in patients with AIN than in those with other types of ARF (p less than 0.001). Preventive measures should be especially directed to older patients receiving NSAID, by avoiding the combined use of drugs potentiating their action and by correcting any predisposing factor to ARF.
