D. ibuprofen 800mg by mouth every 4 hours as needed for pain.

steps

these things get rid of a lot of water in the body, so the kidney has to work harder

long-term use of things like ibuprofen can seriously reduce kidney function

ibuprofen is an nsaid or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs

explore the past & current use of over-the-counter (OTC) drugs or agents, including dietary supplements, vitamins and minerals, herbal agents, laxatives, analgesics, acetaminophen, and NSAID

again these things get rid of a lot of water in the body, so the kidney has to work harder

high-dose or long-term use of can seriously reduce kidney function.

one of the causes of acute kidney disease is the long-term use of NSAIDs.

Do not give NSAIDs to someone who has renal disease.
