Brief Answer:
No, it does not affect kidneys.

Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Thank you for the query.

No it does not have any effect on kidneys. It is metabolized by liver and eliminated with urine. But it does not worsen kidney function. Dosage of Omeprasole does not have to be decreased even in kidney failure patients.

Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
