Do Prolia injections affect the kidneys?

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….

Just want to add that in the UK strontium was prescribed (in the ranelate form) and so was considered a "med." The US citrate form is not regulated or prescribed but may have the same cardiovascular risks that led the ranelate form to be withdrawn from the EU market. It also makes the DEXA scan results look better than they are because strontium is denser than calcium and replaces it in the bones.

Some supplements have tiny amounts of strontium which I think is misleading. The therapeutic dose is 680mg for osteoporosis.

My doctor told me stopping Prolia injection could cause immediate problem such as bone fracture… but you said you have stopped it for three years without any osteoporosis treatments and so far so good? Thanks for the info. Have you had bone density scan lately and how are they?
