The present study aims to evaluate the clinical outcomes following renal denervation (RDN) for hypertensive patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Prospective studies published between January 1, 2010 and November 15, 2022 where systematically identified for RDN outcomes on office and ambulatory blood pressure, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), creatinine and procedural characteristics from three online databases (Medline, PubMed, EMBASE). Random effects model to combine risk ratios and mean differences was used.

Three online databases were searched (MEDLINE, EMBASE and PubMed) for literature related to outcomes of RDN on hypertension and AF, between January 1, 2010, and June 1, 2021. Where possible, risk ratios (RR) and mean differences (MD) were combined using a random effects model.
