Objective: Early initiation of xanthine oxidase inhibitors (XOIs) may benefit patients with preserved kidney function. However, a direct comparison between the impact of allopurinol and those of febuxostat on long-term kidney function among this population is lacking.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study with a new-user, active-comparator design among patients with eGFR within the reference range and no proteinuria.

Article Synopsis
  • Vancomycin (VCM) is an effective antibiotic against resistant Gram-positive bacteria but can cause kidney damage (nephrotoxicity), which limits its use.
  • This study tested the protective effects of febuxostat (FX) and fenofibrate (FENO) against VCM-induced kidney harm in rats, using various biomarkers to measure kidney damage and oxidative stress.
  • Results indicated that FX and FENO, especially when combined, significantly reduced kidney injury by lowering oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis, suggesting these drugs could protect against VCM-related nephrotoxicity in patients.

Purpose: It is unknown whether febuxostat can delay the progression of kidney dysfunction and reduce kidney endpoint events. The aim was to evaluate the renoprotective effect of febuxostat in patients with hyperuricemia or gout by performing a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs).

Methods: MEDLINE, Web of science, EMBASE, ClinicalTrials.

Introduction: Contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) is known to be a complication of using intravascular contrast injection. Unfortunately, it is associated with adverse outcomes such as prolonged length of hospitalization and increased burden of health care costs. So, we aimed to determine the efficacy of febuxostat in the prevention of contrast-induced acute kidney injury among patients with chronic kidney disease Stage 3 performing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Xanthine oxidase (XO) is an important source of reactive oxygen species. This study investigated whether XO inhibition exerts renoprotective effects by inhibiting vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and NADPH oxidase (NOX) in diabetic kidney disease (DKD). Febuxostat (5 mg/kg) was administered to streptozotocin (STZ)-treated 8-week-old male C57BL/6 mice via intraperitoneal injection for 8 weeks.
