All of the NSAIDS (including motrin/advil/aleve/naproxen, etc.) can cause ulcers/gastritis and kidney injury, as well as potentially elevating the BP. They are a DEFINITE no-no for those with kidney disease.

Tylenol is far safer, though, in recent years, it's become apparent that regular use can also elevate the BP somewhat. There may be a mild risk to the kidneys for those with advanced kidney disease, so we should check in with our nephrologists before using it if we have nephritis.

Garlic and alfalfa, often found in some supplements, are not recommended for lupus patients as they can exacerbate symptoms. Additionally, the hormone melatonin may worsen lupus symptoms. Always consult your doctor before using any new medication or supplement.

Big one is ibuprofen they don't like you taking Tylenol either because it's not good for the kidneys but there's nothing else you can do so take some Tylenol
