Relationship between Proton Pump Inhibitors and Adverse Effects in Hemodialysis Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Background: Currently, the interaction between proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and their effects on hemodialysis (HD) patients has not been clarified. Objectives: Here, we aimed to explore the association between PPIs and adverse outcomes in HD patients. Methods: A search was performed on the PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases for relevant articles published up to April 10, 2022. Studies examining the association (odds ratio [OR]) between PPIs and side effects were identified. The study followed guidelines prescribed in the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA), and was registered with PROSPERO (CRD42021291177). Results: A total of 12 studies comprising 4,227,497 HD patients with PPIs were identified. Results showed that PPI use was associated with an increased risk of bone fracture and hip fracture in the HD patients (pooled OR = 1.29, 95% CI = 1.21–1.37, p < 0.00001, I2 = 0%; pooled OR = 1.37, 95% CI = 1.12–1.67, p = 0.002, I2 = 82%). Besides, HD patients who received PPIs were more likely to develop hypomagnesemia compared with those who did not receive PPIs (pooled OR = 2.79, 95% CI = 1.95–4.00, p < 0.00001, I2 = 0%). In addition, PPIs use was linked to abdominal aortic calcification and all-cause mortality (pooled OR = 2.03, 95% CI = 1.28–3.24, p = 0.003, I2 = 0%) (pooled OR = 1.44, 95% CI = 1.17–1.78, p = 0.0006, I2 = 0%). Conclusions: Taken together, the present results demonstrate that PPIs use in HD patients is independently associated with adverse reactions such as hip fracture, hypomagnesemia, abdominal aortic calcification, and all-cause mortality. Thus, the use of PPIs in HD patients should be carefully evaluated and optimized.
