*So, it makes sense that giving NSAIDs to a pt who is volume depleted (or otherwise has poor kidney function) is bad because it will reduce prostaglandin synthesis, therefore reduce the amount of vasodilation force on the afferent arteriole, and result in lower RBF, lower GFR, and less filtration. | *So, it makes sense that giving NSAIDs to a pt who is volume depleted (or otherwise has poor kidney function) is bad because it will reduce prostaglandin synthesis, therefore reduce the amount of vasodilation force on the afferent arteriole, and result in lower RBF, lower GFR, and less filtration. | ||
