RESUMO
Background: About 30% of Type 1 diabetes (T1DM) patients and 40% of Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) patients were diagnosed with diabetic nephropathy, which has also greatly affected the global end-stage renal disease (ESRD) outcome. Atrasentan is a selective endothelin receptor type A (ETA) antagonist initially studied for the potential treatment of cancer. However, the role of Atrasentan was not sure in the DM. Methods: The machine searches eight databases to find studies examining the impact of Atrasentan in people with diabetic nephropathy both domestically and overseas. Type of Study Design RCTs have been published on Atrasentan's effects in patients with chronic kidney disease.Utilizing RevMan 5.3 software, data analysis was carried out following a thorough assessment of the quality of the literature. Results: This meta-analysis has included 4 papers for statistics. They were all regarded as being random controlled trials. According to 4 studies, the test group's urinary albumin/creatinine ratio (UACR) was significantly lower than the control group's (standardized mean difference (SMD): -222.47; 95% confidence interval (CI): -367.57, -77.38; P < .01), as were the test group's prevalence of cardiovascular disease (OR: 0.83; 95% CI: 0.73, 0.95; P < .01) and adverse reactions (OR: 1.00; 95% CI: 1.00). Conclusion: Atrasentan improves the UACR in individuals with chronic kidney disease as compared to the control category. However, these findings need to be confirmed by more high-quality research. Further studies could focus on the effect of the Atrasentan on the diabetic nephropathy management,which will shed light on the treatment of diabetic nephropathy.
