Abstract

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory
drugs (NSAIDs), which are easily accessible, inexpensive and have many
therapeutic effects, are used frequently and in large quantities by every age
group of patients. NSAIDs reversibly inhibit cyclooxygenase
enzymes at various degrees and they have the same action and
toxicity mechanism. These groups of drugs can cause damage in many organs when
there used at high dose and for a long-time period. Analgesic nephropathy is
one of the prominent side effects of NSAIDs which damage kidneys. The present review focused on
renal toxic mechanisms induced by NSAIDs. The geriatric group which is the
most vulnerable group to misusage of NSAIDs should be well informed and
monitored by healthcare professionals to decrease the risk of adverse effects related
to NSAIDs.
