Heartburn and Kidney Disease

One of the most common questions that I get on my blog is about the association of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and use of stomach acid suppression drugs known as Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs). The PPIs include omeprazole, pantoprazole, lansoprazole and other drugs that end with “prazole.” These drugs are among the most common prescriptions used to treat heartburn and other stomach acid disorders. They have replaced older drugs known as H2 blockers, such as famotidine, ranitidine, cimetidine and others that end in “tidine.”
