Analgesic nephropathy Australia

In Belgium, the distribution of analgesic nephropathy in patients with terminal renal insufficiency was well correlated with the sale of drugs containing either aspirin -I- phenacetin or paracetamol + caffeine (SEDA-7,75), and it is estimated that Belgium, after Australia, had the second highest incidence of analgesic nephropathy in the world. [Pg.2683]

Detailed information concerning the extent of the problem of analgesic nephropathy is limited, particularly for recent years. National annual data were collected in Australia/New Zealand by the Aushalian and New Zealand Dialysis and Transplant Registry (ANZDATA) [51] and in the United States by the United States Renal Data System (USRDS) [52]. In Eu-... [Pg.403]

NSAIDs block the synthesis of COX products of arachidonic acid, which have a critical role in renal hemodynamics, control of tubular function, and renin release. It is now apparent that two isoforms of COX synthesize prostaglandins. COX-1 is a resident or constitutive form and COX-2 is an inducible form that increases with disorders of inflammation. NSAIDs are nonspecific inhibitors of both COX isoforms. Analgesic nephropathy is a common cause of ESRD in a number of countries, reaching 10% in Switzerland and Australia, but is essentially a preventable condition for which biochemical monitoring has proved useful. The incidence of this disease has decreased over the last decade as awareness has improved and phenacetin was withdrawn from over-the-counter analgesic mixtures. In the United States, 1 in 5 citizens (50 miflion) report that they use an... [Pg.1716]

Analgesic nephropathy is the most serious complication of analgesic abuse, and this condition accounted for 29% of a series of patients with the end-stage renal failure in New South Wales, Australia (6 ). There appears to be marked geographical variation in... [Pg.64]
