ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: It is unknown whether febuxostat can delay the progression of kidney dysfunction and reduce kidney endpoint events. The aim was to evaluate the renoprotective effect of febuxostat in patients with hyperuricemia or gout by performing a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs). METHODS: MEDLINE, Web of science, EMBASE, ClinicalTrials.gov, and the Cochrane Central Register for Randomized Controlled Trials were searched. The main outcomes included kidney events (serum creatinine doubling or progression to end-stage kidney disease or dialysis). The secondary outcomes were the rate of change in the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and changes in the urine protein or urine albumin to creatinine ratio from baseline to the end of follow-up. We used random-effects models to calculate the pooled risk estimates and 95% CIs. RESULTS: A total of 16 RCTs were included in the meta-analysis. In comparison with the control group, the patients who received febuxostat showed a reduced risk of kidney events (RR = 0.56, 95% CI 0.37-0.84, p = 0.006) and a slower decline in eGFR (WMD = 0.90 mL/min/1.73 m2, 95% CI 0.31-1.48, p = 0.003). The pooled results also revealed that febuxostat use reduced the urine albumin to creatinine ratio (SMD = -0.21, 95% CI -0.41 to -0.01, p = 0.042). CONCLUSION: Febuxostat use is associated with a reduced risk of kidney events and a slow decline in eGFR. In addition, the urine albumin to creatinine ratio decreased in febuxostat users. Accordingly, it is an effective drug for delaying the progression of kidney function deterioration in patients with gout.Systematic review registration: PROSPERO CRD42021272591.
