Abstract:
Analgesic nephropathy is a slowly progressive disease caused by the long-term abuse of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or their mixtures.Pathologically,the analgesic nephropathy is characterized by chronic tubulointerstitial nephritis and renal papillary necrosis.In the early stage,the clinical characteristics are latent.With further progression of the disease,there are the nonspecific symptoms of end stage renal disease.There is no unified diagnosis standard about the disease.The incidence of analgesic nephropathy has great variation among different country.Based on the current literature,we discussed its pathogenesis,epidemiology,clinical manifestation,diagnosis and therapy.
