Proton pump inhibitors were associated with higher risks of acute interstitial nephritis (HR, 2.78; 95% CI, 1.25‐6.17), acute kidney injury (HR, 1.85; 95% CI, 1.33‐2.59), chronic kidney disease (HR, 1.47; 95% CI, 1.03‐2.09), and end‐stage renal disease (HR, 1.61; 95% CI, 1.26‐2.04) than non‐PPI therapy. Similar risks were not identified for H₂RA therapy.
