What Are The Effects Of Cortisone Shot On Kidney Function?
My kidney function has been compromised from being on long term NSAIDS for bursitis. The bloodwork has improved since stopping the anti-inflammatory medicines. I have a trigger finger that I would like to have injected with a cortisone shot. Will that affect my kidney function?

Hi,
It is good that you have stopped taking NSAIDS.
Injecting Cortisone will not affect the kidney function.
