Dangers of 2000 mg tylenol per day, taken 365 days per year for chronic pain, for patient with 3rd stage kidney disease?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Tylenol is considered to be a relatively safe medication in doses of 4000mgs per day but some studies have noted kidney toxicity at this dose. Liver damage has been considered the main concern especially when alcohol is also involved. Make sure you get your kidney function tested periodically. Your pharmacist can shed more light on this issue for you.

Yes, studies have shown accumulated dose of Tylenol does affect the kidney function and the disease progression.
