MONITOR: Concomitant use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and diuretics may adversely affect renal function due to NSAID inhibition of the renal synthesis of prostaglandins that help maintain renal perfusion in dehydrated states. The risk may be increased in patients on dietary sodium restriction. At the same time, hypotensive effect of the diuretics may be reduced because inhibition of prostaglandins can lead to unopposed pressor activity and, consequently, elevation in blood pressure. Natriuretic and diuretic effects may also be reduced, as NSAIDs have been reported to cause sodium and water retention, which may account for the increased risk of congestive heart failure associated with the combination. One study showed an increase in the incidence density of congestive heart failure (in patients over 55 years of age) from 9.3 per 1,000 person-years in patients on diuretics to 23.3 per 1,000 person-years in patients on both diuretic and NSAID therapy. NSAIDs may also increase the risk of hyperkalemia associated with potassium-sparing diuretics.
MANAGEMENT: In patients receiving both diuretic and NSAID therapy, management consists of avoiding dehydration and carefully monitoring the patient's renal function and blood pressure. If renal insufficiency or hyperkalemia develops, both drugs should be discontinued until the condition is corrected.
