Traditional Chinese lipid-lowering agent red yeast rice results in significant LDL reduction but safety is uncertain – A systematic review and meta-analysis
摘要:
We systematically reviewed and meta-analyzed the effectiveness and safety of red yeast rice extract for cardiovascular risk reduction.We analyzed 20 randomized trials on 6663 patients.The placebo-subtracted reduction of LDL was 0.68 till 1.44mmol/l with a pooled estimate of1.02mmol/L (95% CI1.20;0.83).The incidence of kidney injury and liver abnormalities was <5% in both RYR and control groups. The rate of myopathy did not differ between RYR and control groups.The design and reporting of adverse events were in most studies insufficient to make a firm judgement on the safety of red yeast rice extract.
