ABSTRACT
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and acute kidney injury (AKI) are diseases which affect the urinary tract characterized by the loss of renal function. Their therapy requires different therapeutic goals. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) transplantation has spread over the years as a treatment for many diseases. In the urinary tract, studies report anti-inflammatory, antiapoptotic, antifibrotic, antioxidant and angiogenic effects. This work reports the results of a meta-analysis about the effects of the MSC application in serum levels of creatinine in dogs and cats with AKI and CKD. The work followed PRISMA guidelines. Data were screened, selected, and extracted with characteristics about the studies. The kinds of injury were classified according to their identification and the risk of bias was calculated by the system SYRCLE. The results of each group were combined by the inverse variance method. The heterogeneity was evaluated by the I2 test. For the mean of creatinine, a meta-analysis was performed according to the study group and number of applications and separately for the control and treatment groups according to the kind of injury, dose, application route, and moment. At all, 4742 articles were found. Of these, 40 were selected for eligibility, 16 underwent qualitative analysis and 9 to the quantitative. The results denote advantage to the group treated with MSC over placebo. A statistical difference was observed both in combined analysis and in the subgroups division. However, a high heterogeneity was found, which indicates considerable variation between the studies, which indicates caution in generalize the results.
