摘要
Background：Renin-angiotensin system inhibitor and calcium channel blocker （CCB） are widely used in controlling blood pressure （BP） in patients with chronic kidney disease （CKD）.We carried out a meta-analysis to compare the renoprotective effect of the combination of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor （ACEI） or angiotensin receptor blocker （ARB） and CCB （i.e.,ACEI/ARB ＋ CCB） with ACEI/ ARB monotherapy in patients with hypertension and CKD.Methods：Publications were identified from PubMed,Embase,Medline,and Cochrane databases.Only randomized controlled trials （RCTs） of BP lowering treatment for patients with hypertension and CKD were considered.The outcomes of end-stage renal disease （ESRD）,cardiovascular events,BP,urinary protein measures,estimated glomerular filtration rate （GFR）,and adverse events were extracted.Results：Based on seven RCTs with 628 patients,ACEI/ARB ＋ CCB did not show additional benefit for the incidence of ESRD （risk ratio [RR] =0.84;95% confidence interval [CI]：0.52-1.33） and cardiovascular events （RR =0.58;95% CI：0.21-1.63） significantly,compared with ACEI/ARB monotherapy.There were no significant differences in change from baseline to the end points in diastolic BP （weighted mean difference [WMD] =-1.28 mmHg;95% CI：-3.18 to-0.62）,proteinuria （standard mean difference =-0.55;95% CI：-1.41 to-0.30）,GFR （WMD =-0.32 ml/min;95% CI：-1.53 to-0.89）,and occurrence of adverse events （RR =1.05;95% CI：0.72-1.53）.However,ACEI/ARB ＋ CCB showed a greater reduction in systolic BP （WMD =-4.46 mmHg;95% CI：-6.95 to-1.97）,compared with ACEI/ARB monotherapy.Conclusion：ACEI/ARB ＋ CCB had no additional renoprotective benefit beyond than what could be achieved with ACEI/ARB monotherapy.
