A new claim has joined the MDL consolidating all of the claims against AstraZeneca related to alleged kidney disease from Nexium and other devastating side effects. Plaintiff Diane G. has filed individually and as the personal representative of a patient’s estate.

The multi-district litigation has consolidated many of the claims brought forward from patients who allege that they developed kidney disease from Nexium.

According to these legal claims, the development of kidney disease from Nexium was never adequately explained to patients as a possible side effect and unnecessarily exposed them to devastating dangers and problems as a result of taking a drug that they thought would help them. The proton pump inhibitor products liability consolidation includes many similar claims from plaintiffs who have allegedly developed kidney disease from Nexium and have been left to cope with the consequences.

The most recent claim to join the kidney disease from Nexium MDL is on behalf of a patient who suffered wrongful death after taking the medication. The kidney disease from Nexium lawsuit is being filed on the grounds of economic loss, survivorship action, wrongful death and injury to the person represented.

The kidney disease from Nexium lawsuit says that the manufacturer of the medication knew about or should have known about the dangers and the possible risk of developing kidney disease from taking the drug and that in failing to do so, exposed the deceased and many other patients to severe medical conditions.

According to the kidney disease from Nexium case most recently added to the MDL, the decedent used PPI products from 2003 to 2013 and suffered an array of serious side effects, including chronic kidney disease, dialysis, end-stage renal disease and death.

The decedent lived in Michigan at the time of using Nexium. The kidney disease from Nexium lawsuit was filed on multiple counts against manufacturer AstraZeneca, including negligence, breach of express warranty, negligent misrepresentation, fraudulent misrepresentation, strict product liability for failure to warn and design defects, fraudulent concealment and breach of express warranty.

If you or someone you know has already suffered the consequences of kidney disease from Nexium, you need to consult with an experienced attorney about your next steps and recovering legal compensation.

Since Nexium is regularly recommended to and taken by patients who have a variety of symptoms, it has become one of the most popular medications in the U.S. Many patients who took it assumed that it was reasonably safe and might have even continued their treatment with the drug for a long period of time. However, some of those patients developed concerning medical conditions like kidney disease after taking Nexium.

Those patients might evaluate their rights to file a legal claim and to recover compensation with the help of an attorney since additional costs and pain have been associated with this drug. The consumers say they were never told about the possibility of serious side effects.

The Kidney Disease from Nexium Lawsuit is case 2:18-cv-12027-CCC-MF, filed in the United States District Court, District of New Jersey, Newark Division.
