Does omazaperole kill off the kidneys ?
Brief Answer:
diet, acid reduction
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Barrett's esophagus is caused by the effect of stomach acidity on the esophagus. If there are correctable causes of reflux then your doctor may consider advising you to correct them (for example hiatal hernia).
Besides that diet changes may help. Avoid cocoa, coffee, alcohol, orange and other citrus fruits, food with high fat content and also avoid having a full stomach and lying down right after a meal.
Omeprazole and other proton pump inhibitors will help with stomach acidity although they won't reduce the reflux. The reflux will continue but it won't be detrimental for the esophagus.
Finally follow-up with upper gastrointestinal endoscopy is required because Barrett's esophagus may evolve into esophageal cancer.
Regarding the effect of omeprazole to the kidneys, it's true that it may cause various renal disorders but their frequency is very low. Other side effects are by far more common like diarrhea, taste disturbances, etc.
I hope it helps!
Kind Regards!
