  • Title: Ketorolac-induced postoperative acute renal failure: a case report.
    Author: Patel NY, Landercasper J.
    Journal: Wis Med J; 1995; 94(8):445-7. PubMed ID: 7571690.
    Abstract:
    The nephrotoxic effects of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are well recognized. Known potentiating risk factors include pre-existing renal disease, intravascular volume depletion, and concomitant administration of other nephrotoxic drugs. We present a case report of renal failure following short term usage of intramuscular ketorolac (Toradol) in a patient with no known risk factors who underwent an uncomplicated laparotomy. The literature concerning ketorolac-induced renal failure is reviewed and physicians are reminded to be aware of this potential complication.
