NSAIDs and Chronic Kidney Disease
 

People with chronic kidney disease are generally advised not to take nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), with the exception of aspirin (for cardiovascular indications). Yet new research shows that people with chronic kidney disease, including people with moderate-to-severe kidney disease, are continuing to use NSAIDs at the same rate as the general population. NSAIDs have been associated with acute kidney injury in the general population and with progression of disease in those with chronic kidney disease. Simple blood and urine tests can detect kidney disease. If you have diabetes or hypertension, are aged 60 or older, or have a family history of chronic kidney disease or kidney failure, talk to your doctor about getting tested for kidney disease.
