Guest guest Posted September 28, 2004 Report Share Posted September 28, 2004 I am not familiar with paracetamol. It is a good idea to check with your neph before taking any drugs though, over the counter or prescripton.

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 na: In 1996, the National Kidney Foundation recommended acetaminophen (tylenol or paracetemol -- same drug) as the non-narcotic analgesic of choice for mild to moderate pain in persons with chronic kidney disease. These recommendations are noteworthy, particularly given several controversial reports (principally case-control studies, which are lesser quality studies than randomized trials) regarding the potential kidney toxicity of acetaminophen. Nevertheless, available data DO NOT rule out acetaminophen as a cause of chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal disease, ESPECIALLY when used in excess and in combination with other analgesics. Acetaminophen however, has been recommended by my nephrologist, I take it myself on occasion without adverse effects, and I routinely recommend it to my patients with chronic kidney disease. Everyone should talk to their doc before taking tylenol, but it is the safest over-the-counter pain medication we have for patients with chronic kidney disease. --Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 Hi, Paracetamol is nephrotoxic in severe renal and hepatic insuficiency, and it's not the same drog as acetominophen, but the same kind; in my case my dr allowed me to take it, in low dosis, and without abusing. I added a file with a list of AINE's, to whom may need it. Kisses from my heart to all of you. na > I am not familiar with paracetamol.
