Abstract

Los medicamentos antiinflamatorios no esteroideos (AINEs) se encuentran entre los medicamentos más consumidos mundialmente. Esto hace necesario realizar una síntesis amplia de la evidencia disponible sobre la prescripción segura y adecuada de AINEs en pacientes con enfermedad cardiovascular, enfermedad renal crónica, hipertensión, insuficiencia cardíaca o cirrosis hepática y en población general. Para ello se ha realizado una revisión de revisiones sistemáticas. El uso de AINEs se asoció a una probabilidad significativamente mayor de hepatotoxicidad y daño renal y un mayor riesgo de exacerbación de la insuficiencia cardíaca. Teniendo en cuenta el aumento del riesgo cardiovascular, hepático y renal, la prescripción de AINEs debe realizarse con cautela, considerando la duración del tratamiento y la situación del paciente. Por ello, se debe informar a los pacientes sobre sus posibles consecuencias para la salud así como garantizar un seguimiento adecuado de los mismos.
