Abstract:
Objective To assess the efficacy of rosuvastatin for early diabetic nephropathy(DN). Methods Clinical trials of rosuvastatin in treatment of early diabetic nephropathy were searched in the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, PubMed, EMbase, Wanfang and CNKI. We also searched relevant journals and conference proceedings. Randomized controlled trials(RCTs) in which rosuvastatin were used for patients with early DN were collected. We performed meta-analysis with RevMan 5.3 software. ResultsA total of 11 articles involving 881 patients were finally included. The evidence provided by these articles were regarded as grade C. Meta-analysis showed that CRP(WMD=-2.41,95%CI: -4.50--0.32,P<0.01) and urinary albumin excretion rate(UAER)(SMD=-1.32,95%CI: -1.75--0.88,P<0.01) in rosuvastatin group were lower than those in control group,but there were no significant difference in serum creatinine(Scr)(SMD=-0.33,95%CI: -0.70-0.04,P>0.05) between rosuvastatin group and control group. No severe adverse effects were found in these trials. Conclusion Our study showed that rosuvastatin may reduce CRP and UAER levels in patients with early DN. However, due to lack of high quality articles, more studies should be conducted to reveal the efficacy of rosuvastatin for early DN.
