Chloride ion slightly high not be much concern Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), which are often used to manage conditions like gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and gastritis, can potentially lead to iron deficiency. PPIs reduce stomach acid production, and this can affect the absorption of certain nutrients, including iron. Over time, it may result in lower iron levels in the body.
