Abstract:

Objective To compare the efficacy and safety of roxadustat and erythropoietin in the treatment of renal anemia in hemodialysis patients. Methods Randomized controlled studies of roxadustat and erythropoiet regarding renal anemia in hemodialysis patients from PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Library, CNKI, CBM, VIP and WanFang Data were collected by two researchers, the conduction of the database is by February 2021; the extracted literature were evaluated the quality, and Revman 5.4 software was used for meta analysis. Results A total of 540 patients were included in three articles. In the comparison with the control group, the hemoglobin rate could be improved in roxadustat group (OR=2.82, 95%CI 1.06~7.48, P=0.04), and there was no significant difference in the improvement of hemoglobin level between the two groups (MD=-0.13, 95%CI -0.46~0.20, P=0.43). Roxadustat could significantly improve iron-binding capacity, (MD=35.07, 95%CI 12.45-57.70, P=0.002), but the incidence of adverse events was higher in the roxadustat group than that in the control group(OR=1.98, 95%CI 1.30-3.04, P=0.002).Conclusion Roxadustat can effectively reduce renal anemia in hemodialysis patients, but its safety still should be attention widely.
