Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and the kidney

F Pugliese and GA Cinotti

In patients with PG-dependent renal function, NSAID administration constantly reduces GFR and RBF in a dose-dependent fashion. In this situation, the risk of overt acute renal failure is high and should be taken into proper account. In contrast, the incidence of NSAID-related renal structural alterations appears to be very low, yet the absolute number of patients may be significant considering the wide use of such drugs. Concerning the antiproteinuric effect of NSAIDs, the unfavourable ratio risk/benefit does not seem to support their indication in proteinuric nephropathies. The development of PGHS-2 selective inhibitors is promising, and may open new therapeutical strategies in the treatment of the progression of renal disease.
