Kidney health is often ignored until the first serious symptoms show. More than 800 million people worldwide deal with chronic kidney disease, often silent until a urine test reveals the presence of albumin, a protein that implies kidney damage. Among the factors that most influence this deterioration is the excessive or improper use of certain medications.
Below, we list some of the most popular medications that, if not used properly, can give and take your kidney function.
1. Omeprazole and other proton pump inhibitors (PPIs)
Omeprazole is considered to treat reflux, heartburn, and ulcers. However, prolonged use without medical supervision can lead to acute kidney injury or chronic kidney disease. It is crucial that use be evaluated by a specialist and that you avoid self-medicating.
Alternative: H2 antagonists, such as famotidine or ranitidine, are generally safer for those without pre-existing kidney damage.
