Abstract
Background: To assess the relationship between anti-inflammatory therapy and renal events risk in participants with cardiovascular risks or diagnosed cardiovascular disease (CVD).
Methods: Literature searches were carried out in PubMed, Embase, clinicaltrial.gov and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials. Randomised controlled trials that were published from January 1995 to July 2024, compared anti-inflammatory therapy and placebo in participants at cardiovascular risks or with diagnosed CVD and with reports of renal outcomes were included. The results were shown as risk ratio (RR) and 95% confidence interval (CI).
Results: In comparison to placebo, therapies targeting inflammation did not exhibit a significant association with the risk of composite renal outcomes (worsening of renal function, death due to kidney disease and end-stage renal disease) (RR = 0.89, 95% CI 0.40 to 1.99, I2 = 0%). The risk of worsening of renal function (RR = 0.81, 95% CI 0.21 to 3.07, I2 = NA), end-stage renal disease (RR = 0.94, 95% CI 0.31 to 2.85, I2 = 0%), death due to kidney disease (RR = 3.00, 95% CI 0.12 to 73.56, I2 = NA), chronic kidney disease (RR = 1.77, 95% CI 0.74 to 4.23, I2 = 0%), chronic renal failure (RR = 1.70, 95% CI 0.56 to 5.15, I2 = 61%) and acute kidney injury (RR = 1.16, 95% CI 0.95 to 1.42, I2 = 0%) showed no significant difference between patients receiving anti-inflammatory therapy and placebo.
Conclusion: Current evidence did not indicate associations between anti-inflammatory therapies and adverse renal events risks in patients with cardiovascular risks or established CVD. Future researches are needed to explore the renal effects of anti-inflammatory therapy.
期刊介绍:
Inflammopharmacology is the official publication of the Gastrointestinal Section of the International Union of Basic and Clinical Pharmacology (IUPHAR) and the Hungarian Experimental and Clinical Pharmacology Society (HECPS). Inflammopharmacology publishes papers on all aspects of inflammation and its pharmacological control emphasizing comparisons of (a) different inflammatory states, and (b) the actions, therapeutic efficacy and safety of drugs employed in the treatment of inflammatory conditions. The comparative aspects of the types of inflammatory conditions include gastrointestinal disease (e.g. ulcerative colitis, Crohn''s disease), parasitic diseases, toxicological manifestations of the effects of drugs and environmental agents, arthritic conditions, and inflammatory effects of injury or aging on skeletal muscle. The journal has seven main interest areas:
-Drug-Disease Interactions - Conditional Pharmacology - i.e. where the condition (disease or stress state) influences the therapeutic response and side (adverse) effects from anti-inflammatory drugs. Mechanisms of drug-disease and drug disease interactions and the role of different stress states
-Rheumatology - particular emphasis on methods of measurement of clinical response effects of new agents, adverse effects from anti-rheumatic drugs
-Gastroenterology - with particular emphasis on animal and human models, mechanisms of mucosal inflammation and ulceration and effects of novel and established anti-ulcer, anti-inflammatory agents, or antiparasitic agents
-Neuro-Inflammation and Pain - model systems, pharmacology of new analgesic agents and mechanisms of neuro-inflammation and pain
-Novel drugs, natural products and nutraceuticals - and their effects on inflammatory processes, especially where there are indications of novel modes action compared with conventional drugs e.g. NSAIDs
-Muscle-immune interactions during inflammation [...]
