To collate data on the adverse effects of PPIs, we sur- veyed recent studies focusing on systematic reviews. Mostof the evidence supporting the adverse effects of PPIs is people 66 or older, rates of acute kidney injury and acute observational. Thus, it is possible that PPI users are sicker interstitial nephritis were 2.5- and 3-fold higher in PPI users than nonusers, or that adverse effects are caused by other compared with nonusers.
