ABSTRACT
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are popular in general practice. Their adverse renal effects have been well documented. Common NSAID-related renal side effects range from dysfunctional renal hemodynamic responses, nephrotic syndrome, electrolyte disturbances, acute interstitial nephritis, chronic interstitial nephritis with papillary necrosis, and acute flank pain syndrome to acute renal failure. Decreased prostaglandin synthesis can lead to renal ischemia and hemodynamically related acute renal failure. Cases of acute renal failure syndrome accompanied by severe loin pain after anaerobic exercise (ALPE) or binge drinking have previously been reported in individuals taking NSAIDs. However, severe flank pain after high-dose NSAID treatment in the absence of other conditions (exercise or volume contraction) is rare. We report a case of a 51-year-old man who suffered from severe pain in both flanks after NSAID treatment. Computed tomography revealed hypodense lesions in both kidneys.
