Abstract:
Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of Qishen Yiqi Dropping Pills combined with telmisartan on early diabetic nephropathy with Qi deficiency and blood stasis syndrome and changes of oxidative stress indicators. Methods Sixty patients with early diabetic nephropathy of qi-yin deficiency and blood stasis syndrome were randomly divided into treatment group (30 cases) and control group (30 cases). Both groups were given diabetes education, diabetes diet control and insulin injection. Patients in the control group took telmisartan orally, and patients in the treatment group were given Qishen Yiqi Dropping Pills additionally. The treatment course was 12 weeks. The indicators were observed before and after treatment including blood pressure (BP), fasting blood glucose (FBG), glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), urinary albumin excretion rate (UAER), urinary 8-iso-PGF2α excretion rate, serum superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and malonaldehyde (MDA), and the clinical efficacy was evaluated. Results The total effective rate of the treatment group was significantly higher than that of the control group, with statistical significance (Z=2.822, P=0.005). After treatment, the indicators including BP, FBG, HbA1c, serum MDA, UAER and urinary 8-iso-PGF2α excretion rate all decreased significantly in both groups (P<0.05). Serum SOD and GSH-Px increased significantly at the same time (P<0.05). BP, FBG and HbA1c were not statistically different between the two groups (P>0.05). However, serum MDA, UAER, and urinary 8-iso-PGF2αexcretion rate were significantly lower (P<0.05), and serum SOD and GSH-Px were significantly higher in treatment group than control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Qishen Yiqi Dropping Pill combined with telmisartan is effective in reducing proteinuria in patients with early diabetic nephropathy of qi-yin deficiency and blood stasis syndrome. Its protective mechanism for kidney is possibly related to inhibiting oxidative stress injury at the early stage of diabetic nephropathy.
