analgesic nephropathy
Analgesic nephropathy refers to a specific kidney disease caused by the long-term and excessive use of certain pain-relieving medications, specifically nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and/or analgesics (such as aspirin, acetaminophen, or phenacetin). It is characterized by kidney damage that gradually occurs over time, leading to impaired kidney function and potential renal failure.
