Overview

There is a strong association between phenacetin and analgesic nephropathy which has led to the disappearing of classic analgesic nephropathy after the removal of phenacetin from the markets over 30 years ago. Although non-phenacetin analgesics (such as NSAIDs, aspirin and acetaminophen) have been reported in some studies as causes to analgesic nephropathy, but there is insufficient evidence that suggest these drugs cause analgesic nephropathy.

Causes

  • There is a strong association between phenacetin and analgesic nephropathy.[1]
  • Although non-phenacetin analgesics (such as NSAIDs, aspirin and acetaminophen) have been reported in some studies as causes to analgesic nephropathy, but there is insufficient evidence that suggest these drugs cause analgesic nephropathy.[1][2]
  • The classic analgesic nephropathy is disappearing after the removal of phenacetin from the markets over 30 years ago.[3]
  • Further randomized trials are required to assess the incidence of renal injury and analgesic nephropathy caused by certain drugs.[4]
