NSAIDs Lower GFR FAST – The Silent Kidney Damage Your Doctor Rarely Warns You About
Many people take NSAIDs like ibuprofen or naproxen every day without realizing the hidden danger. NSAIDs lower GFR by blocking prostaglandins, the chemicals that keep blood flowing into your kidneys. When this blood flow drops, your filtration rate falls, creatinine rises, and permanent kidney damage can begin silently. If you notice morning fatigue, swelling around your eyes or ankles, foamy urine, or sudden spikes in blood pressure, your kidneys may already be under stress. Even short-term or high-dose NSAID use can cause acute kidney injury and push chronic kidney disease to a more advanced stage. In this video, Dr. Mattheus from Kidney Health 365 explains how NSAIDs lower GFR, why the damage often goes unnoticed, and safer pain relief alternatives to protect your kidneys long term. #NSAIDsLowerGFR #KidneyDamage #LowGFR More Videos Suggested For You: Increase GFR Naturally: 5 Drinks That Improve Kidney Filtration Better Than Water Increase GFR Naturally: 5 Drinks That Improve Kidney Filtration Better Than Water How to Improve eGFR Fast (Backed by Real Science – No Fluff) • How to Improve eGFR Fast (Backed by Real S...
