Abstract
-
Acute nonmyoglobinuric renal failure with severe loin pain and patchy renal vasoconstriction is a clinical syndrome that occurs following exercise in previously healthy young persons. Also nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs predispose to acute renal failure in conditions associated with decreased renal blood flow. Probably exercise-induced renal ischemia and prostaglandin inhibition by NSAIDs may predispose to develop this syndrome. Here, we report two cases of acute renal failure with severe loin pain after strenuous exercise while taking NSAIDs with review of literature.
