SUMMARY

1. Pre-renal failure - by inhibiting prostaglandin production, leading to decreased glomerular perfussion pressure.

2. Hyperkalemia - due to inhibition of renin release from JG apparatus, leading to low aldosterone, due to reduced K+ excreation.

3. NSAIDs also can cause an acute or a chronic interstitial nephritis, with nephrotic-range proteinuria (common) and papillary necrosis (rare).
