[Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents and diuretics: a combination with nephrotoxic risks].
We report the case of a reversible postoperative acute renal failure in a 55-year-old woman without preoperative risk factors who underwent a retinal surgery. The association of diuretics with nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs was probably responsible of an ischaemic acute tubular necrosis. Vitreoretinal surgery's postoperative period might be associated with a specific risk for the kidney because of an usual intensive diuretic prescription. Nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs should be avoided if possible in this indication.
