Detailed Description
Chronic kidney disease patients with hyperuricemia and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) 20-50 ml/min were treated by febuxostat or benzbromarone. Follow up the changes of serum uric acid, serum creatinine and GFR levels. Compare the effects on renal function of these two drugs.
Study Design
Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Febuxostat take orally, 40mg per day, for 1 year |
Drug: Febuxostat
It acts as an inhibitor of xanthine oxidase, thus lowering urate concentrations in the body
Other Names:
|
Experimental: Benzbromarone take orally, 50mg per day, for 1 year |
Drug: Benzbromarone
It is structurally related to the antiarrhythmic amiodarone, and it is a uricosuric agent and non-competitive inhibitor of xanthine oxidase
Other Names:

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Renal function [up to 12th months]
Blood test for serum uric acid and creatinine, according to equation to estimate glomerular filtration rate
Secondary Outcome Measures
- urine protein [3rd months, 6th months, 9th months, 12th months]
urine test for microprotein markers and 24-hour urine protein quantitation
- adverse drug reaction [1st month, 2nd months, 3rd months, 6th months, 9th months, 12th months]
record all the adverse drug reactions
