Abstract

Renal injury is known to be a risk of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) therapy in adults. While this appears to be much less common in children, there are some groups of children who do appear to be at risk of renal injury associated with NSAID therapy and clinicians caring for these patients need to be cognizant of this potential risk.
