Many medicines can cause acute kidney injury (acute renal failure), such as: Antibiotics. These include aminoglycosides, cephalosporins, amphotericin B, bacitracin, and vancomycin. Some blood pressure medicines. One example is ACE inhibitors, such as lisinopril and ramipril. Another is angiotensin receptor blockers.
Because there is a higher risk of acute renal impairment associated with cyclooxygenase inhibition, current practice is to ban the use of nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (including high-dose aspirin) in patients with chronic renal failure and to recommend instead acetaminophen or low-dose aspirin.ithout correction for the timing of the diagnosis of renal disease and for coexisting conditions (which would be possible only in follow-up studies), the plausible hypothesis that the use of acetaminophen or aspirin is harmful in patients with renal failure remains unproved.
