Association Between Long-Term Proton Pump Inhibitor Use and Decline in estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate among Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease

Key takeaways

This study looked at people with chronic kidney disease who took proton pump inhibitors, the common stomach acid drugs like omeprazole, for a long time. It checked whether their kidney filtering rate (eGFR) dropped faster than in people who did not. It is an observational study, so it shows a link, not proof that the drug caused the decline. No abstract came with the record, so the exact numbers are not available here.
