OSCE questions

https://soumyamenda80.blogspot.com/2023/11/29-year-old-with-bilateral-lower-limb.html 1.How NSAID abuse effects on kidney leading to renal injury and How long exposure and dosage can cause injury The main mechanism of NSAID action is cyclooxygenase (COX) enzyme inhibition, interfering on arachidonic acid conversion into E2 prostaglandins E2, prostacyclins and thromboxanes. Within the kidneys, prostaglandins act as vasodilators, increasing renal perfusion. This vasodilatation is a counter regulation of mechanisms, such as the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system works and that of the sympathetic nervous system, culminating with compensation to ensure adequate flow to the organ. NSAIDs inhibit this mechanism and can lead to acute kidney injury (AKI). https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6534025/ 2.What other drugs or treatment modalities could be possible other than NSAIDs for pain? He had history of Rat poison ,does it have any significance in etiopathogenesis of the
