Effect of Daily Use Proton Pump Inhibitors for One Month on Kidney Function

the Effect of Daily Use of Proton Pump Inhibitors for One Month on Renal Function

The aim of this study to: evaluate the association between prolonged use of PPI and adverse renal outcomes on patients with normal renal function and others with abnormal renal function

Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are one of the most widely used classes of drugs and are prescribed primarily for gastric acid-related diseases, eradication of Helicobacter pylori, and prevention of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID)-induced gastropathy,and gastroesophagial reflux diseases . Although PPIs have an excellent overall safety profile, some severe adverse effects, which include bone fracture, dementia, myocardial infarction, infections, micronutrient deficiencies, and kidney diseases,PPIs may trigger acute interstitial nephritis,a potentially sever adverse event commonly associated with acute kidney injury The increase in prescription and inadequate use of this class of medication calls for studies on the effects of prolonged PPI therapy on renal function.
