My husbands a liver transplant recipient. His neurologist said to Not take PPI protein pump inhibitors and to take exactly what you are on but then his Transplant Team put him on omeprazole for EOE which is bad for kidneys and neurologist doesn't want him on it but Transplant Team overrides Nephrologist now GFR went down to 34. We are going to ask to be taken off it immed after EUS didn't show EOE

@suzy212, I sure hope that your husband's GFR responds to the change. I am a liver and kidney recipient. Just to demonstrate how different we all are, I did take omeprazole (until I didn't need it anymore) and had no bothersome reactions to it.
It must be confusing to have different opinions. What is the possibility that your nephrologist and liver Transplant team can communicate and come up with a plan?
