Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Clinical Pharmacology

Background:

  • Analgesic nephropathy is a recognized clinical issue linked to chronic analgesic use.
  • Historically, phenacetin-containing analgesics were associated with chronic renal insufficiency.
  • Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are now recognized as a cause of distinct kidney syndromes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the clinical aspects of analgesic nephropathy.
  • To discuss kidney disorders associated with both phenacetin and NSAIDs.

Main Methods:

  • This is a review article.
  • Clinical data and literature on analgesic nephropathy were analyzed.

Main Results:

  • Chronic consumption of analgesics, including phenacetin and NSAIDs, is associated with kidney damage.

  • NSAIDs can induce various clinical syndromes affecting the kidneys.
  • Conclusions:

    • Analgesic nephropathy remains a significant clinical problem.
    • Understanding the clinical presentation of NSAID-induced kidney disorders is crucial for patient care.
