Nefropatía por analgésicos - Treatment

Nombres alternativos

Nefritis por fenacetina; Nefropatía por el uso de analgésicos

Tratamiento:

Los objetivos primordiales del tratamiento son prevenir daños posteriores y tratar cualquier insuficiencia renal que exista. Es posible que el médico ordene suspender todos los analgésicos sospechosos, en particular los que se venden sin receta.

Los signos de insuficiencia renal deben tratarse en forma adecuada y esto puede incluir cambios en la dieta, restricción de líquidos, diálisis, transplante de riñón u otros tratamientos.

El asesoramiento, la modificación del comportamiento o intervenciones similares le pueden ayudar a desarrollar métodos alternativos de control del dolor crónico.

Pronóstico:

El daño al riñón puede ser agudo y temporal o crónico y duradero.

Posibles complicaciones:

Cuándo contactar a un profesional médico:

Consulte con el médico si tiene signos de esta afección, en especial si ha habido un antecedente de uso de analgésicos.

Igualmente, consulte si presenta sangre o material sólido en la orina o si disminuye el gasto urinario.
