NSAIDS and their effects on the Kidney - Pathophysiology

Arachidonic Acid metabolites into alternative pathways that modify immune function
 • Minimal Change Disease
via Prostaglandin inhibition
 • Increase Na reabsorption in Proximal, loop and distal component of Nephron: CHF, HTN, Edema
 • Inhibition of Renin release: hyporenin hypoaldo, hyperkalemic distal RTA
 • Increase H2O absorption in distal nephron: Hyponatremia
 • Vasoconstriction and decreased renal blood flow: Pre renal AKI
Idiosyncratic immune reaction
 • Acute Interstitial Nephritis
Necrosis of kidney tissue
 • Papillary Necrosis
