My egfr has dropped steadily over a the last few years and is now 34. I finally went to a nephrologist and he asked how long I had taken Omeprazole (30 plus years). He immediately took me off Omeprazole. If you look at the National Kidney Foundation website, you'll see they say the Omeprazole causes kidney problems. My egfr numbers have stabilized since that time. Unfortunately my GERD came roaring back without the Omeprazole, so I'm now suffering from the acid reflux. Male, age 77.

@steveutnv Have you tried papaya enzymes I took them for a few years after stopping the nexium until doctors put me on Omeprazole. I was waking up choking with cpap and they said it was from the acid , I still can’t wear the cpap but did stop Omeprazole and pantoprazol to do a heartburn test and had to start back on them before the test because heartburn was severe

Same here. When first diagnosed stage 5, I was taken off omeprazole immediately.
