Efficacy and safety of colonic dialysis combined with traditional Chinese medicine retention enema in the treatment of chronic renal failure: A protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis.

Abstract

Background:Chronic renal failure (CRF) is a major public health problem worldwide nowadays. It is characterized by a slow reduction in kidney function identified by an increase of serum creatinine levels and a reduction of urine output. CRF is easier to diagnose than to treat. Clinical evidence shows that colonic dialysis combined with traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) enema can treat CRF by reducing serum creatinine. To assess the therapeutic efficacy and safety of colonic dialysis combined with Traditional Chinese medicine retention enema in CRF, we created a protocol for a systematic review to inform future clinical applications.Methods:Eligible random controlled trials were collected from 8 bibliographic databases (PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, The Cochrane Library, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, Chinese Science and Technology Periodical Database, Wanfang Database), completed before October 2021. The primary outcome is the serum creatinine, Urea nitrogen, total effective rate, uric acid, creatinine clearance. Secondary outcome: TCM syndrome score, glomerular filtration rate, hemoglobin, adverse reactions, and adverse events. Data extraction and quality assessment were independently conducted by 2 researchers. The quality and bias of the data were assessed using RevMan5.4 software.Results:This study will provide a clinical basis for colonic dialysis combined with TCM retention enema in the treatment of CRF.Conclusion:Colonic dialysis combined with TCM retention enema in the treatment of CRF can delay the progression of renal disease, proving its effectiveness and safety.INPLASY Registration number:INPLASY2021100116
