Core Tip	Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is the most common chronic bacterial infection in gastrointestinal tract of humans. The prevalence and association of H. pylori with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), however, are still unclear. To further investigate this potential relationship, we conducted this systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies reporting the association between H. pylori infection and ESRD and prevalence in ESRD patients. We found an estimated prevalence of H. pylori in ESRD patients of 44%. In addition, our meta-analysis demonstrates a 0.71-fold decreased risk of H. pylori in adult ESRD patients.
