Studies evaluating the association between PPI use and chronic kidney disease.

Authors Paper Type Number of patients Pooled studies Results Conclusion
Lazarus and colleagues32 PPI use and risk of chronic kidney disease Prospective, cohort study 11,656 NA AKI

CI 1.28–2.3
p < 0.001
CKD
HR 1.45
CI 1.11–1.9
p = 0.006
PPI use but not H2RA use was an independent risk factor for AKI and CKD

>30% Decline in GFR
HR 1.26
CI 1.16–1.36
PPI use was associated with higher risk of CKD progression than H2RA use

Mortality
HR 1.76
CI 1.68–1.84
p < 0.0001
PPI use is associated with increased odds of developing CKD and death
Xie and colleagues37 Long-term kidney outcomes among users of proton pump inhibitors without intervening acute kidney injury Retrospective, cohort study 144,032 NA CKD
HR 1.29
CI 1.22–1.36
Proton pump inhibitor use is associated with CKD in patients without prior AKI.

HR 1.28
CI 1.23–1.34
CKD prog/ESRD
HR 1.47
CI 1.38–1.57
PPI exposure is associated with an increased risk of incident CKD, CKD progression, and ESRD.

There is an increased risk of CKD and ESRD in patients using PPIs.
