Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) use is recommended to be avoided in kidney transplantation, with a paucity of studies assessing their safety within this population. This study aims to use a large cohort of Veterans Affairs (VA) kidney transplantation recipients to assess the risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) with NSAID use.
