This study aimed to determine the impact of Pentoxifylline on inflammatory biomarkers and the progression of chronic kidney disease in non-diabetic patients.
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a progressive condition that affects >10% of the general population worldwide, amounting to >800 million individuals.
The diagnosis of CKD is established by laboratory testing, most often by estimating glomerular filtration rate (GFR) from a filtration marker, such as serum creatinine or cystatin C, using various formulas, or by testing urine for albumin or protein (or both).
Pentoxifylline (PTX), a synthetic dimethylxanthine derivative used initially to treat intermittent claudication in patients with peripheral arterial disease due to its hemorheological effects, has been shown to have potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, anti-cellular-damage, and antifibrotic effects.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Group 1 | Active Comparator | Patients received the standard therapy. The routine standard consisted of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) (Ramipril 1.25 mg), a calcium-based phosphate binder (calcium acetate 700 mg, containing 180 mg of calcium), alfacalcidol (0.25 µg), antihypertensive medications, and diuretics. |
|
| Group 2 | Experimental | Patients received one capsule of Pentoxifylline 400 mg twice daily for 6 months, in addition to their standard therapy. |
