Hey, don't stress too much! In most cases, if kidney issues are caught early and the medicine is stopped under medical supervision, the damage can improve or reverse. Just make sure you talk to your doctor right away to get a clear plan.
I also read about omeprazole and kidney issues and got so scared because I have been taking it for months. Has anyone here actually had their creatinine go up due to this? Did it come back to normal after stopping?
My grandmother was taking these antacids for years and her doctor recently stopped them to protect her kidneys. He said the mild stress on the kidneys usually gets better once you stop. Definitely get a doctor to check it out.
I cannot give medical advice, but my uncle had acute kidney injury due to long-term PPI use. Once his doctor stopped the omeprazole and started alternative treatments, his kidney function test results improved significantly over a few months.
This is so scary to think about, kidney health is extremely delicate. If you suspect any kidney issues, please get a renal function test done immediately and show it to a doctor. It is better to get it checked than worry constantly.
