Which drugs are known to cause kidney disease?

  1. Aspirin, paracetamol, ibuprofen

  2. Aminoglycosides, loop diuretics, NSAIDs

  3. Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Zinc

  4. Antacids, PPIs, H2 blockers

The correct answer is: Aminoglycosides, loop diuretics, NSAIDs

The correct answer is B. Aminoglycosides, loop diuretics, and NSAIDs are known to cause kidney disease. Aminoglycosides are antibiotics that can cause nephrotoxicity (kidney damage) with prolonged use. Loop diuretics, commonly used for conditions like hypertension and edema, can also cause kidney damage, especially when used at high doses. NSAIDs, a class of medications used for pain relief and reducing inflammation, can lead to acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease, particularly in patients with pre-existing kidney conditions or in those who use them excessively. This makes option B the correct choice for drugs known to cause kidney disease.
