Abstract 【Objective】To investigate the clinical effects of febuxostat at different doses in the treatment of uric acid end-stage nephropathy (UAESN). 【Methods】A total of 98 UAESN patients treated in our hospital were selected and randomly divided into the observation group (n=49) and the control group (n=49).On the basis of conventional treatment, the observation group was given 20 mg febuxostat, and the control group was given 40mg febuxostat. Serum creatinine (SCr), glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), urinary microalbumin to creatinine ratio (ACR) and serum uric acid (SUA) were observed before and after treatment. Plasma viscosity (PV), whole blood low shear viscosity (ηL), whole blood high shear viscosity (ηH), malondialdehyde (MDA), advanced oxide protein product (AOPP), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and other oxidative stress indicators were recorded. The efficacy and adverse reactions of the two groups were compared. 【Results】Compared with before treatment, SCr and ACR were decreased, eGFR and SOD were increased, SUA, PV, ηL, ηH, MDA and AOPP were decreased after treatment (P<0.05). After treatment, there were no significant differences in SCr, ACR, eGFR, SUA, PV, ηL, ηH, MDA, AOPP and SOD between the two groups (P>0.05). There was no significant difference between the clinical efficacy of the observation group (91.84%) and the control group (95.92%) (P>0.05). The incidence of adverse reactions in the observation group was lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). 【Conclusion】Based on conventional treatment, 20 mg febuxostat has the same effect as 40 mg febuxostat in aspect of improving renal function, hemorheology, relieving oxidative stress and clinical efficacy of UAESN, however, 20 mg febuxostat has better safety.
