9. Acute Kidney Injury

Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is defined as a sudden impairment or decline in renal function. Previously known as acute renal failure (ARF), this is a serious condition that can be life-threatening if left undiagnosed. One of the key symptoms associated with this condition is the decline in urine output, also known as oliguria.

NSAIDs like ibuprofen are known causes of Acute Kidney Injury. Even though it is not a common side effect, chronic use of ibuprofen increases the risk of developing this condition. This is especially important in patients taking ibuprofen with underlying kidney disease.
