The goal of this study was to systematically review the efficacy and safety of urate-lowering therapy in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). PubMed, the Cochrane Central Registration of Controlled Trials, and EMBASE databases and several websites were electronically searched to collect randomized clinical trials on the efficacy of urate-lowering therapy in CKD from inception to December 31, 2020. The key primary end points were uric acid or estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) levels; the safety end points were death, renal event, cardiovascular event, and gastrointestinal event. A Bayesian network meta-analysis was conducted with the use of ADDIS and R software. A total of 17 randomized clinical trials involving 2059 patients were included. The results of network meta-analysis showed that urate-lowering therapy could reduce urate levels in patients with CKD. Febuxostat was the most effective treatment in lowering urate levels according to the rank probability. Urate-lowering therapy has the tendency to delay the decline of eGFR, but the difference was not statistically significant. Ranking probability showed that benzbromarone, febuxostat, and allopurinol ranked higher than placebo in reducing the decline of eGFR. There were no statistically significant differences between groups in the incidence of all adverse effects. All urate-lowering therapies could reduce the urate level in patients with CKD, but the benefit of such therapy in renal disease is still unclear. PROSPERO identifier: CRD42020222601.

D001499 Bayes Theorem A theorem in probability theory named for Thomas Bayes (1702-1761). In epidemiology, it is used to obtain the probability of disease in a group of people with some characteristic on the basis of the overall rate of that disease and of the likelihood of that characteristic in healthy and diseased individuals. The most familiar application is in clinical decision analysis where it is used for estimating the probability of a particular diagnosis given the appearance of some symptoms or test result.

D014527 Uric Acid An oxidation product, via XANTHINE OXIDASE, of oxypurines such as XANTHINE and HYPOXANTHINE. It is the final oxidation product of purine catabolism in humans and primates, whereas in most other mammals URATE OXIDASE further oxidizes it to ALLANTOIN. 2,6,8-Trihydroxypurine,Ammonium Acid Urate,Monosodium Urate,Monosodium Urate Monohydrate,Potassium Urate,Sodium Acid Urate,Sodium Acid Urate Monohydrate,Sodium Urate,Sodium Urate Monohydrate,Trioxopurine,Urate,Acid Urate, Ammonium,Acid Urate, Sodium,Acid, Uric,Monohydrate, Monosodium Urate,Monohydrate, Sodium Urate,Urate Monohydrate, Monosodium,Urate Monohydrate, Sodium,Urate, Ammonium Acid,Urate, Monosodium,Urate, Potassium,Urate, Sodium,Urate, Sodium Acid

D051436 Renal Insufficiency, Chronic Conditions in which the KIDNEYS perform below the normal level for more than three months. Chronic kidney insufficiency is classified by five stages according to the decline in GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE and the degree of kidney damage (as measured by the level of PROTEINURIA). The most severe form is the end-stage renal disease (CHRONIC KIDNEY FAILURE).
