Abstract
Introduction: The use of proton-pump inhibitors (PPI) is linked with infrequent but serious adverse events, including acute kidney injury, chronic kidney disease (CKD) and progression of CKD. Data on renal safety in routine use of PPI are more relevant to clinical practice. We studied whether such use of PPI is associated with renal dysfunction.
Methods: Patients taking PPI for at least six weeks had serum creatinine tested pre (n = 200) and post (n = 180) recruitment. These patients were then advised to follow-up: those taking PPI for at least 90 days in the next six months (n = 77) and at least another 90 days in the following six months (n = 50), had serum creatinine tested at such follow-up. Renal dysfunction was defined as any increase in serum creatinine level above baseline.
Results: The 200 patients recruited had mean age 39.6 (SD 9.2) years. Ninety-eight (49%) patients had a history of previous PPI use (median six months; interquartile range [IQR] 3-24). Only 20 (11.1%) patients at six weeks, 11 (14.3%) at six months and six (12%) at one year had increase in creatinine level; a majority of them had less than 0.3 mg/dL increase. Ten of these 20 (six weeks), five of 11 (six months) and five of six (one year) had other risk factors for renal dysfunction. No patient developed CKD during the study period.
Conclusions: Mild and non-progressive increase in serum creatinine occurred in 10% to 15% of patients on routine PPI use. A majority of them had other risk factors. Small sample size and short follow-up duration are a few limitations of this study.
期刊介绍:
The Indian Journal of Gastroenterology aims to help doctors everywhere practise better medicine and to influence the debate on gastroenterology. To achieve these aims, we publish original scientific studies, state-of -the-art special articles, reports and papers commenting on the clinical, scientific and public health factors affecting aspects of gastroenterology. We shall be delighted to receive articles for publication in all of these categories and letters commenting on the contents of the Journal or on issues of interest to our readers.
