A member asked:
Can kidney damage from nsaid's be reversed if person stops taking them? is acetaminophen okay if you suspect disease of ur kidney? thank you drs!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes and yes: Nsaid related injury usually reversible. Acetaminophen has a cumulative toxicity on the kidney but only after prolonged use. Ie at maximum strength used daily over several decades, it can cause kidney injury but is considered safe for the kidney even if you have advanced kidney disease.
