Acetaminophen or acetylsalicylic acid increases risk of developing chronic kidney failure
People who regularly use high dosages of pain-relievers or antipyretic drugs containing acetaminophen (paracetamol) or acetylsalicylic acid run an increased risk of developing permanent reduced kidney function (chronic renal failure). This was found in a nation-wide Swedish research study published on December 20 in The New England Journal of... view more... (2001-12-21)
