The side effect may not be listed until enough people complain of the issue. It is not to say that they have reported and gathered all of the side effects. Someone else mentioned this site. http://www.fda.gov/medwatch/report.htm or you can call 1-800-332-1088. You might report your increased GFR to them. Although, it would be hard to prove that it was related to a possible side effect of the medication or just an increase in water intake (which can increase GFR) also. I had my mother ask her Urologist if she should take Prolia. He was not too concerned but she is not severe CKD but a Stage 3. All drugs have SEs, just need to find one that U & your MD feel comfortable with. Best of Health to All!

But! I am hoping she does Fosamax. Doctors in general are not overly educated about pharmacology and pharmacodynamics. It is best to ask a pharmacist!

I had 9 hemorrhagic UTIs in a year on Prolia. Yes, it definitely affects kidneys and urinary tract. I had to convince my doctor this was due to Prolia. He discounted my experience. Not one hemorrhagic UTI since stopping Prolia. No fractures either and it’s been 3 years. I am on vacation from all meds right now. Only calcium, strontium, vitamin D,K, biotin and weight bearing exercise. Hope to maintain. So many meds through the years….

I don't understabd acronyms - please write it out. ?
GFR
CKD. ?
