Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of Sulodexide in treating idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN) in the Chinese population.
Methods: We systematically reviewed all eligible randomized clinical trials (RCTs) conducted in China that investigated the effects of Sulodexide on IMN. Three RCTs published between 2013 and 2022 were included, encompassing a total of 146 patients. The primary outcomes evaluated were changes in urine total protein (UTP), serum albumin (ALB), cholesterol (CHOL), and fibrinogen (FIB) levels.
Results: Statistically significant differences were observed in the Sulodexide treatment group compared to the control group for the following parameters: reduction in UTP and CHOL, increase in ALB, and reduction in FIB levels.
Conclusion: Sulodexide, when combined with conventional therapy, effectively reduces UTP and CHOL levels, decreases FIB levels, and increases ALB in Chinese patients with IMN.
