Acute Kidney Injury Sequel to Aspirin Induced Intestinal Obstruction
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 12
Abstract
Self medication is common, though the harmful effects are usually not overt. In some cases the effects are many, serious and could be quite fatal. NSAIDS are drugs that are usually abused and their use, if contrary to instructions results in conditions that if care is not taken would not be only result in hospital attendance but also require some ivasive or surgical resolution. A classical example is the indiscriminate use of aspirin which would not only inflame the bowels but will also bring about bowel obstruction. With the adoption of a careful clinical appraisal and a choice of conservative treatment, an intestinal obstruction could be resolved thereby minimizing the possibility of re-admission as cases of abdominal surgical intervention are associated with increased risk of relapse.
