Patients who were given intravenous NSAIDs for postoperative analgesia were defined as one group, whereas reference patients did not use any NSAIDs. The primary outcome was the occurrence of postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI), as defined by the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes criteria. Secondary outcomes included AKI stage, NSAID-related side effects, postoperative hemoglobin, cumulative opioid consumption, and duration of hospitalization.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>Among 3,359 eligible nephrectomy patients, 78% (2,614) were given NSAIDs.
