Network meta-analysis of mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists for diabetic kidney disease.

ABSTRACT: Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is one of the major causes of end-stage renal disease (ESRD). To evaluate the efficacy and safety of different types of mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs) in diabetic kidney disease patients, we conducted this network meta-analysis by performing a systematic search in PubMed, MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, and Clinicaltrials.gov. A total of 12 randomized clinical trials with 15,492 patients applying various types of MRAs covering spironolactone, eplerenone, finerenone, esaxerenone, and apararenone were included. The efficacy outcomes were the ratio of urine albumin creatine ratio (UACR) at posttreatment vs. at baseline, change in posttreatment estimated glomerular filtration (eGFR) vs. at baseline, and change in posttreatment
