LID - 10.3390/jcm13030850 [doi] LID - 850 AB - Background: There are concerns that Helicobacter pylori eradication therapy may worsen kidney function in patients with decreased renal function. This study aimed to systematically review the literature regarding Helicobacter pylori eradication in patients with renal impairment. Methods: PubMed, the Cochrane Library, and Igaku Chuo Zasshi were searched for comparative studies on H. pylori eradication in patients with renal impairment. Results: Five articles were included in this systematic review. According to a randomized trial comparing a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) + clarithromycin + metronidazole and PPI + clarithromycin + amoxicillin in patients with decreased renal function, the incidence of acute renal failure was significantly lower in PPI + clarithromycin + metronidazole (2%: 1/44) than in PPI + clarithromycin + amoxicillin (18%: 8/44). The eradication rate in PPI + clarithromycin + metronidazole (92.5%) was significantly better than that in PPI + clarithromycin + amoxicillin (76.3%). According to four reports on eradication treatment using PPI + clarithromycin + amoxicillin in patients with and without decreased renal function, the eradication rates and adverse effects were similar in both groups. Regarding dose adjustment, three reports reduced the dose of antibiotics by half in patients with a creatinine clearance of 30 mL/min or less. Conclusions: The regimen with PPIs, clarithromycin, and metronidazole is recommended for renal impairment. The combination of PPIs, clarithromycin, and amoxicillin, at reduced doses depending on the renal function, is also a potential option.
