Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether febuxostat and benzbromarone could protect renal function, and which one could be better.

Detailed description

Chronic kidney disease patients with hyperuricemia and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) 20-50 ml/min were treated by febuxostat or benzbromarone. Follow up the changes of serum uric acid, serum creatinine and GFR levels. Compare the effects on renal function of these two drugs.

Interventions

DRUGFebuxostat

It acts as an inhibitor of xanthine oxidase, thus lowering urate concentrations in the body

It is structurally related to the antiarrhythmic amiodarone, and it is a uricosuric agent and non-competitive inhibitor of xanthine oxidase
