Can prolong intake of pain killers cause kidney problem? Long-term use, especially at high doses, can damage some people’s kidneys permanently, scientists claim. In a recent BBC report.
The researchers found that the heavy use of aspirin or paracetamol-defined as 300 grams a day-was linked to a condition known as small, indented and calcified kidneys.
A large dose of some analgesics, like aspirin and paracetamol, may decline kidney function in patients who already have kidney disease. Besides, extremely overdose of aspirin and paracetamol can cause acute kidney failure. The advice is that do not take analgesics unless you really need them. You can take single drugs such as aspirin and paracetamol. And if you have kidney disease, seek medical treatment before taking analgesics.
What’s more, painkillers can cause a kidney damage called analgesic nephropathy which is a chronic kidney disease that over years gradually leads to irreversible kidney failure and the permanent need for dialysis or a kidney transplant to restore kidney function.
