    A small proportion of individuals with analgesic nephropathy may develop end-stage kidney disease. Analgesic nephropathy was once a common cause of kidney injury and end-stage kidney disease in parts of Europe, Australia, and the United States. In most areas, its incidence has declined sharply since the use of phenacetin fell in the 1970s and ...

    Milk-alkali syndrome is an illness that is characterized by hypercalcaemia, kidney damage, and metabolic alkalosis. [17] This syndrome was discovered in the early 1900s when people began experiencing adverse effects from Bertrand Sippy's gastric ulcer treatment consisting of milk and alkali.

    It is typically caused by kidney failure or is treatment-induced such as from antacids or supplements that contain magnesium. [1] [6] Less common causes include tumor lysis syndrome, seizures, and prolonged ischemia. [2] Diagnosis is based on a blood level of magnesium greater than 1.1 mmol/L (2.6 mg/dL).

    Drug-induced glomerular disease is not common but there are a few drugs that have been implicated. Glomerular lesions occur primarily through immune-mediated pathways rather than through direct drug toxicity. Heroin and Pamidronate are known to cause focal segmental glomerulosclerosis; Gold salts therapy can cause membranous nephropathy [4 ...

  8. Antacid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antacid

    Some antacids also inhibit pepsin, an enzyme that can damage the esophagus in acid reflux. [2] [13] Antacids do not directly inhibit acid secretion, and thus are distinct from acid-reducing drugs like H 2-receptor antagonists or proton pump inhibitors. [4] Antacids do not kill the bacteria Helicobacter pylori, which causes most ulcers. [4]

  9. Furosemide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Furosemide

    In kidney impairment, clearance is reduced, increasing the risk of adverse effects. [4] Lower initial doses are recommended in older patients (to minimize side effects) and high doses may be needed in kidney failure. [26] It can also cause kidney damage; this is mainly by loss of excessive fluid (i.e., dehydration), and is usually reversible.
