Abstract
Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are widely prescribed medications for the management of various gastrointestinal disorders, primarily gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and peptic ulcers. However, recent concerns have emerged regarding their potential adverse effects on kidney function and their role in the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD). This systematic review aims to comprehensively analyze the existing literature to assess the impact of PPI use on kidney function and CKD progression. We took information from PubMed, PubMed Central (PMC), and Google Scholar articles from the last 10 years, from 2013 to 2023, and looked for links between PPI use and a number of kidney-related outcomes. These included acute kidney injury, a drop in the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), and new cases of CKD. The findings of this systematic review highlight the need for a thorough evaluation of the benefits and risks associated with PPI use, particularly in patients with pre-existing kidney conditions, in order to inform clinical decision-making and improve were taken out and looked at to see if there were any links between PPI use and different kidney-related events, such as acute kidney injury, a drop in the estimated eGFR, and the development of CKD. The review also explores potential mechanisms underlying PPI-induced nephrotoxicity. The findings of this systematic review highlight the need for a thorough evaluation of the benefits and risks associated with PPI use, particularly in patients with pre-existing kidney conditions, in order to inform clinical decision-making and improve patient care. Further research is warranted to better understand the complex interplay between PPIs, kidney function, and CKD progression.

Abstract
Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are one of the most commonly prescribed medications. However, PPI usage is linked to a higher risk of both acute and chronic renal damage by mechanisms not entirely known. The present study demonstrates that omeprazole (10 mg/kg body weight, i.p.) causes TGF-β/Smad signaling activation and subsequent expression of the profibrotic genes CTGF and TIMP-1 in rat kidney. Increased production of CTGF and TIMP-1 accompany activation of the TGF-β/Smad signaling cascade. However, simultaneous treatment of omeprazole and the TGF-β inhibitor, disitertide (P144) (1 mg/kg body weight i.p.) suppresses the TGF-β/Smad signaling pathway and subsequent production of CTGF and TIMP-1. Additionally, TGF-β level in rat kidney was highly reduced in animals treated with the ROS (reactive oxygen species) scavenger, N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) (100 mg/kg body weight i.p.) before omeprazole administration. Furthermore, the reduction in SOD activity brought by omeprazole was returned to the normal level in those animals. However, MDA level increased by omeprazole was highly reduced in the presence of NAC. Collectively, the current findings demonstrate that omeprazole has the ability to promote the expression of the profibrotic genes CTGF and TIMP-1 in a ROS and TGF-β dependent manner. The present study suggests the co-use of ROS scavenger to improve the therapeutic use of the PPI omeprazole.

[PMID: 37303818 PMCID: PMC10248387 DOI: 10.4068/cmj.2023.59.2.115] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/04/2023] [Revised: 05/03/2023] [Accepted: 05/04/2023] [Indexed: 06/13/2023] Open
Abstract
Proton Pump Inhibitors are used widely to manage many gastric acid-related conditions such as gastroesophageal disease, gastritis, esophagitis, Barrett's esophagus, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, peptic ulcer disease, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug-associated ulcers, and Helicobacter pylori eradication, around the globe. This review article focuses on adverse effects associated with the long-term use of proton pump inhibitors. Various observational studies, clinical trials, and meta-analyses have established the adverse effects associated with the long-term use of proton pump inhibitors including renal disorders (acute interstitial nephritis, acute kidney injury, chronic kidney disease, and end-stage renal disease), cardiovascular risks (major adverse cardiovascular events, myocardial infarction, stent thrombosis, and stroke), fractures, infections (Clostridium difficile infection, community-acquired pneumonia, and Coronavirus disease 2019), micronutrient deficiencies (hypomagnesemia, anemia, vitamin B12 deficiency, hypocalcemia, hypokalemia), hypergastrinemia, cancers (gastric cancer, pancreatic cancer, colorectal cancer, hepatic cancer), hepatic encephalopathy, and dementia. Clinicians including prescribers and pharmacists should be aware of the adverse effects of taking proton pump inhibitors for an extended period of time. In addition, the patients taking proton pump inhibitors for long-term should be monitored for the listed adverse effects. The American Gastroenterological association recommends a few non-pharmacological measures and the use of histamine 2 blockers to lessen gastrointestinal symptoms of gastroesophageal reflex disease and the utilization of proton pump inhibitors treatment if there is a definitive indication. Additionally, the American Gastroenterological association's Best Practice Advice statements emphasize deprescribing when there is no clear indication for proton pump inhibitors therapy.

Abstract
Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are widely prescribed in medical practice for the treatment of several gastrointestinal disorders. Previous epidemiology studies have reported the association between PPI use and the risk of AKI, although the magnitude of the association between PPIs and the risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) remains uncertain. Therefore, we conducted a meta-analysis to determine the relationship between PPI therapy and the risk of AKI. We systematically searched for relevant articles published before January 2023 on PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science. In addition, we conducted a manual search of the bibliographies of potential articles. Two independent reviewers examined the appropriateness of all studies for inclusion. We pooled studies that compared the risk of AKI with PPI against their control using a random effect model. The search criteria based on PRISMA guidelines yielded 568 articles. Twelve observational studies included 2,492,125 individuals. The pooled adjusted RR demonstrated a significant positive association between PPI therapy and the risk of AKI (adjusted RR 1.75, 95% CI: 1.40-2.19, p < 0.001), and it was consistent across subgroups. A visual presentation of the funnel plot and Egger's regression test showed no evidence of publication bias. Our meta-analysis indicated that persons using PPIs exhibited an increased risk of AKI. North American individuals had a higher risk of AKI compared to Asian and European individuals. However, the pooled effect from observational studies cannot clarify whether the observed association is a causal effect or the result of some unmeasured confounding factors. Hence, the biological mechanisms underlying this association are still unclear and require further research.

Abstract
Proton pump inhibitors are widely used in the treatment of various acid-related diseases and are among the most commonly used drugs. Studies estimate that 25-70% of proton pump inhibitors are prescribed for inappropriate treatments, doses, and indications, where the benefits of proton pump inhibitor use may be less than the risk of adverse drug reactions for many patients. Acute interstitial nephritis is an immune-mediated atypical kidney injury in the long-term use of proton pump inhibitors that causes problems for clinicians and patients. In this review, we summarize the current knowledge of proton pump inhibitors inducing acute interstitial nephritis, chronic kidney disease, and even end-stage renal disease in terms of incidence, pathogenesis, factors, clinical features, and diagnosis. We discuss how these factors change under conditions of acute interstitial nephritis, chronic kidney disease, and end-stage renal disease. The purpose of this review is to assess the current evidence to help clinicians and patients interpret the potential causal relationship between proton pump inhibitor intake and nephrotoxicity. This prompts clinicians to consider the appropriate dose and duration of proton pump inhibitor therapy to avoid inappropriate use.

Risk of bias in non-randomized observational studies assessing the relationship between proton-pump inhibitors and adverse kidney outcomes: a systematic review. Therap Adv Gastroenterol 2022; 15:17562848221074183. [PMID: 35173802 PMCID: PMC8841917 DOI: 10.1177/17562848221074183] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2021] [Accepted: 12/27/2021] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs) are widely prescribed as acid-suppression therapy. Some observational studies suggest that long-term use of PPIs is potentially associated with certain adverse kidney outcomes. We conducted a systematic literature review to assess potential bias in non-randomized studies reporting on putative associations between PPIs and adverse kidney outcomes (acute kidney injury, acute interstitial nephritis, chronic interstitial nephritis, acute tubular necrosis, chronic kidney disease, and end-stage renal disease). METHODS We searched the medical literature within 10 years of 17 December 2020. Pre-specified criteria guided identification of relevant English language articles for assessment. Risk of bias on an outcome-specific basis was evaluated using the Risk of Bias in Non-randomized Studies of Interventions (ROBINS-I) tool by two independent reviewers. RESULTS Of 620 initially identified records, 26 studies met a priori eligibility criteria and underwent risk of bias assessment. Nineteen studies were judged as having a moderate risk of bias for reported adverse kidney outcomes, while six studies were judged as having a serious risk of bias (mainly due to inadequate control of confounders and selection bias). We were unable to determine the overall risk of bias in two studies (one of which was assessed as having a moderate risk of bias for a different adverse kidney outcome) due to insufficient information presented. Effect estimates for PPIs in relation to adverse kidney outcomes varied widely (0.24-7.34) but associations mostly showed increased risk. CONCLUSION Using ROBINS-I, we found that non-randomized observational studies suggesting kidney harm by PPIs have moderate to serious risk of bias, making it challenging to establish causality. Additional high-quality, real-world evidence among generalizable populations are needed to better understand the relation between PPI treatment and acute and chronic kidney outcomes, accounting for the effects of varying durations of PPI treatment, self-treatment with over-the-counter PPIs, and potential critical confounders.

Abstract
Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) were widely used. Observational studies suggested increasing risk of kidney injury in patients with PPIs treatment. We gathered six PPI regimens and adverse reports of acute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) based on US FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database from 2004 to 2019. We employed reporting odds ratio (ROR) to detect signals. Finally, we identified 3187 PPIs-associated AKI cases and 3457 PPIs-associated CKD cases. We detected significant signals between PPIs and AKI as well as CKD. The signal strength was stronger for CKD (ROR = 8.80, 95% CI 8.49–9.13) than AKI (ROR = 3.95, 95% CI 3.81–4.10), while dexlansoprazole performed stronger association for CKD (ROR = 34.94, 95% CI 30.89–39.53) and AKI (ROR = 8.18, 95% CI 7.04–9.51) than the other five PPIs. The median time from PPIs use to event occurrence was 23 days for AKI and 177 days for CKD. PPIs-associated AKI resulted larger proportion of death, life-threatening, hospitalization and disability events than PPIs-associated CKD. By mining the FAERS big data, we provided more information between PPIs use and the AKI and CKD events. PPIs rational use should be repeatedly stressed.
