Abstract:
Objective:To compare the clinical curative effect of roxadustat and recombinant human erythropoietin (rhEPO) on non-dialysis stage 3 to 5 chronic kidney disease (CKD) combined with renal anemia (RA).Methods:A total of 108 patients with non-dialysis stage 3 to 5 CKD and RA admitted to Jiangbei Branch of Zhongda Hospital Affiliated to Southeast University were prospectively enrolled between January 2020 and October 2022. According to random number table method, they were divided into group A and group B, 54 cases in each group. The group A was treated with roxadustat and polysaccharide-iron complex (PIC) for 3 months, while group B was treated with rhEPO and PIC for 3 months. The clinical curative effect, levels of hemoglobin (Hb), red blood cell count (RBC), hematocrit (Hct), serum ferritin (SF), transferrin saturation (TSAT), transferrin (TRF), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), serum creatinine (Scr) and β2-microglobulin (β2-MG) before and after treatment, and the incidence of adverse reactions during treatment in the two groups were compared.Results:The total response rate of treatment in group A was significantly higher than that in group B: 87.04% (47/54) vs. 70.37% (38/54), and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). After treatment, levels of RBC, Hb and Hct in group A were significantly higher than those in group B: (3.47 ± 0.59) × 10 12/L vs. (2.60 ± 0.51) × 10 12/L, (110.45 ± 12.97) g/L vs. (93.64 ± 10.58) g/L, 0.358 ± 0.054 vs. 0.303 ± 0.043, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). The levels of TSAT, SF and TRF in group A were significantly higher than those in group B: (35.17 ± 3.65)% vs. (29.82 ± 3.10)%, (286.74 ± 17.23) μg/L vs. (243.16 ± 15.49) μg/L, (2.76 ± 0.45) g/L vs. (2.40 ± 0.32) g/L, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). The levels of BUN, Scr and β2-MG in group A were significantly lower than those in group B: (3.98 ± 0.41) mmol/L vs. (4.36 ± 0.54) mmol/L, (62.57 ± 7.89) μmol/L vs. (80.34 ± 9.65) μmol/L, (1.50 ± 0.42) μg/L vs. (1.99 ± 0.58) μg/L, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). During treatment, incidence of adverse reactions in group A was significantly lower than that in group B: 11.11% (6/54) vs. 25.93% (14/54), and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Compared with rhEPO, roxadustat has better curative effect, which can effectively relieve anemia and improve iron metabolism in patients with non-dialysis stage 3 to 5 CKD and RA, with good safety.
