PY - 2009 T2 - CURRENT Diagnosis & Treatment: Nephrology & Hypertension AB - Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID)-associated acute renal failure (ARF) develops predominantly in patients with underlying risk factors.Clinical presentations can be asymptomatic or associated with uremic symptoms, edema (pulmonary and peripheral), hypertension, or electrolyte and acid–base disturbances.Elevated blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and serum creatinine (Cr) concentrations are present.An elevated BUN/Cr ratio (> 20) is often noted.Hyponatremia (serum [Na+] 5.5 mEq/L), and non-anion gap metabolic acidosis (serum [HCO3−] < 20 mEq/L) are common.Urine [Na+] < 10–20 mEq/L and FeNa+ < 1.0% characterize NSAID-associated ARF.ARF is generally reversible with discontinuation of NSAIDs and treatment of concurrent disease processes.Severe ARF from NSAIDs may require dialysis.
