Series, Phenacetin was associated with an increased risk of death
due to urologic or renal diseases,
A follow-up paper by Brodie and Axelrod in 1949 established that Phenacetin was also metabolised to paracetamol.
Bach and Hardy have proposed that Phenacetin's metabolites lead to lipid peroxidation that damages cells of the kidney.
In the 1950s, Spühler and Zollinger reported an association between kidney injury and the chronic use of Phenacetin.
They include aspirin and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs(NSAIDs),
as well as the antipyretics paracetamol(known as acetaminophen in the United States) and Phenacetin.

high blood pressure, anemia and cancer, and they are at a higher risk of death because of renal failure or diseases of the urinary system, according to various studies.
Paracetamol was synthesized for the first time in 1893, but it was not until 1948 that Brodie and Axelrod discovered that this white, odorless powder with
a bitter taste is a breakdown product of the two aforementioned substances acetanilide and Phenacetin and responsible for their action.
