The efficacy and safety of aliskiren combination therapy with angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) in patients with hypertension and cardiovascular disease remains attractive attention. We searched the Cochrane Central Register, the Clinical Trials Registry, EMBASE, MEDLINE and PubMed for relevant literatures up to January 2017. A total of 13 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) with 12222 patients were included in this study, and the combined results indicated that aliskiren in combination therapy with ACEIs or ARBs had remarkable effects in reducing systolic blood pressure (SBP) [weighted mean differences (WMD), -4.20; 95% confidential intervals (CI) -5.44 to -2.97; I2, 29.7%] and diastolic blood pressure (DBP: WMD, -2.09; 95% CI -2.90 to -1.27; I2, 0%) when compared with ACEIs or ARBs monotherapy, but with significantly increased the risk of hyperkalaemia [relative risk (RR), 1.45; 95% CI 1.28 to 1.64; I2,10.6 %] and kidney injury ( RR, 1.92; 95% CI 1.14 to 3.21; I2, 0%). Besides, there was no significant difference in the incidence of major cardiovascular events (RR, 0.95; 95% CI 0.89 to 1.02; I2, 0%) between the combined therapy and ACEIs or ARBs monotherapy. In conclusion, this meta-analysis demonstrated that aliskiren in combination therapy with ACEs/ARBs could control BP effectively, but is associated with increasing risks of hyperkalaemia and kidney injury, and have no benefit in preventing of major cardiovascular events.
