An online article published this week on Tech Times reveals that common over-the-counter drugs used to treat gastric symptoms increase risks for chronic kidney disease (CKD). Proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs), a class of drugs that aid in relieving symptoms of heartburn, stomach ulcers, and acid reflux, can lead to renal failure if used over a long period of time. In the United States, kidney disease is the ninth leading cause of death, according to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK). It’s more prevalent among older adults over 65 years of age than their younger counterparts. A-1 Home Care in Arcadia provides support services for elderly patients with CKD and other kidney-related diseases.
