The dangerous drug combination of a RAAS inhibitor, a diuretic, and an NSAID — a classic cause of acute kidney injury.
ACE/ARB reduces kidney blood flow, diuretics deplete volume, and NSAIDs block the compensatory prostaglandins — together they can precipitate acute kidney injury within days, especially during dehydration. The combination is common in elderly patients with hypertension, heart failure, and arthritis. Removing the NSAID (or stopping the others during illness) usually reverses it.
A sudden drop in kidney function over hours to days - reversible if caught early, but a major risk factor for chronic kidney disease.
Kidney injury caused by NSAIDs (ibuprofen, diclofenac, naproxen) — a leading preventable cause of AKI and CKD progression.
A blood-pressure drug (e.g., ramipril, lisinopril, enalapril) that also protects the kidneys by reducing protein leakage.
A diuretic (furosemide, torsemide, bumetanide) that removes fluid in CKD and dialysis patients by blocking sodium reabsorption.
The guidance to temporarily hold ACE inhibitors, ARBs, diuretics, SGLT2 inhibitors, and metformin during acute illness to prevent AKI.
