Abstract | OBJECTIVE: METHODS: The literatures related to the treatment of nephrotic edema were retrieved from the following: Chinese Biological Medicine Database (CBM-disk), Chinese Journals Full-text Database (CNKI, 1994-2006), Chinese Technological Periodicals Database (VIP, 1989-2006), Chinese Evidence Biological Medicine/Cochrane Central Database (CEBM/CCD), Cochrane Library Database, MEDLINE (1966-2006), EMBASE (1975-2006), MEDLARS, SCI (1985-2006) and OVID by electron and craft search with the following key words: nephrotic syndrome, edema, recalcitrant edema, refractory edema or resistant nephrotic edema, and treatment, diuretic therapy or human albumin treatment. The relevant literatures on randomized controlled trials (RCT) that met the criteria were statistically analyzed by the Coorporative network software RevMan 4.2. RESULTS: CONCLUSIONS: The treatment for nephrotic edema should be individualized. The evidence of treatment of nephrotic edema has not been fully elucidated. Further multicentre, large sample, and randomized controlled trials are needed.
