Popis: Abstract Background Whether uric acid (UA)-lowering therapy (ULT) is effective in reducing the progression of renal dysfunction in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) remains controversial. Since several advances have been made in therapies for hyperuricemia, including novel xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR) inhibitors, we conducted a systematic review to clarify the effectiveness of ULT in preserving renal function among CKD patients. Methods In this systematic review, the MEDLINE database was searched up to June 2019. We included complete randomized controlled trials comparing renal events between adult non-dialyzed CKD patients, defined as estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR)
