Abstract
Seven cases of analgesic nephropathy due to excesssive ingestion of paracetamol are reported. None of these patients had been taking any other analgesic. All had radiological features of papillary necrosis. With the increasing use of paracetamol as a mild analgesic, it is necessary to be aware of the possibility that paracetamol may induce analgesic nephropathy.Keywords
