Abstract:Objective To evaluate clinical efficacy and safety of Tripterygium wilfordii multiglucoside (TWM) in the treatment of IgA nephropathy (IgAN). Methods EMbase, The Cochrane Library, PubMed, CNKI, CBM, Wanfang and VIP databases were searched for all published randomized controlled trials on the treatment of IgAN with TWM from the establishment of the databases to October 2019. After the two researchers screened the literature, extracted the data and assessed the risk of bias independently, the RevMan 5.3 software was used for meta-analysis. Results A total of 20 studies were included, including 729 cases in experimental group and 685 cases in control group. The results of meta-analysis showed that the experimental group was better than control group in decreasing 24 h urinary protein (MD = -0.57, 95%CI: -0.71 to -0.42, P < 0.000 01), serum creatinine (MD = -9.26, 95%CI:-13.09 to -5.44, P < 0.000 01), urinary transforming growth factor-β1 (MD = -1.67, 95%CI: -1.92 to -1.41, P < 0.000 01) and increasing clinical total effective rate (RR = 1.35, 95%CI: 1.26 to 1.45, P < 0.000 01), serum albumin (MD = 3.03, 95%CI: 1.67 to 4.38, P < 0.0001). There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between two groups (RR = 1.14, 95%CI: 0.84 to 1.53, P = 0.40). Conclusion TWM for the treatment of IgAN can improve clinical efficacy and the safety is relatively good. Due to limited quantity of the included studies, more high quality studies are required to verify the conclusion mentioned above.
