Yes. Renal Failure causes people to lose function of their kidneys, the pancreas, however, is fine. Unless of course they have some other pancreatic disease or condition.

How NSAIDS cause renal failure?

NSAIDS can induce two forms of acute renal failure: 1. Haemodynamically mediated 2. Acute interstitial nephritis Haemodynamically mediated: Renal prostaglandins are vasodilators, but do not play a major role in renal haemodynamics in healthy patients and the basal rate is relatively low. When there is underlying disease, such as heart failure, cirrhosis or volume depletion, the levels of hormone: PGs are increased and they act as vasodilators to ensure adequate renal flow and GFR. Inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis with an NSAID in such patients can lead to reversible renal ischemia, a ↓ in GFR and acute renal failure. NSAIDs also produce interstitial nephritis with or without nephrotic syndrome secondary to minimal change disease. Although this presents as acute renal failure, it can progress in some cases to chronic renal failure. NSAIDs increase the risk of developing heart failure in patients with a history of HTN, DM or renal failure, particularly in the first month of use.

Why does potassium bromate considered the leading contributor in renal failure?

Sodium bromate was ingested by hair dressers in Japan in a suicide attempt. One of the things that this caused was kidney failure. Excesses of potassium, sodium and bromate ions are all passed via the kidney. Bromate is an oxidizer, and will reduce fairly easily to bromide ion oxidizing whatever it can with pH changes. Excess potassium (whether or not with the bromate anion) is an issue for people with kidney problems. Potassium bromate is sometimes mixed in flour when bread is made. It looks like flour. Baking converts most of the bromate to bromide. If the mixing is not thorough, potassium bromide / bromate can be ingested in large quantities. So it is a "leading contributor" only because it has a known use in the human food chain.
