Certain pharmaceuticals, particularly nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), can have nephrotoxic effects. In patients with diabetes, the prolonged use of NSAIDs can result in further kidney damage due to reduced blood flow to the kidneys. Additionally, drugs that affect the renin-angiotensin system, such as ACE inhibitors and ARBs, should be monitored closely in diabetic patients to prevent adverse effects.
