I just talked at #ERAEDTA21 about proton pump inhibitors and nephrotoxicity
It was an epidemiological take
If anyone is interested here’s my talk condensed in a n/14🧵

Fact: PPIs cause interstitial nephritis. It’s something we commonly see in nephrology and made up 11% of renal biopsies in the Scottish biopsy registry in 2017, just behind IgA nephropathy, the commonest diagnosis

But how common is it in the population? This nice nested c-c study from New Zealand suggested an incidence of 12 people per 100,000 treated in a year....so pretty uncommon
