Abstract:
【Objective】To observe the therapeutic effect of Qi-strengthening and yin-nourishing,stasis-removing and regeneration-promoting therapy for clinical diabetic nephropathy(CDN)and to explore its mechanism.【Methods】Eighty CDN patients with Qi-yin deficiency and stasis blocking kidney collaterals were randomized into groups A and B at the proportion of 3∶1 by using random number table.Group B(n=20)was given routine western treatment involving decreasing blood glucose,blood pressure and blood lipid,taking good quality diet with low protein,regulating water-electrolyte disturbance and acid-base balance,and preventing and curing complicated infection.Group A(n=60)was treated with Qi-strengthening and yin-nourishing,stasis-removing and regeneration-promoting herbal medicine(mainly composed of Radix Astragali,Fructus Mori,Radix Scrophulariae,Radix Angelicae Sinensis,Radix Salviae Miltiorrhizae,Radix et Rhizoma Rhei,Stigma Maydis and Rhizoma Chuanxiong).After treatment,the therapeutic effect was compared in the two groups.Meanwhile,the changes of fasting blood glucose,renal kidney,24-hour urinary protein,blood rheology,blood lipid and fibrinogen(FIB),as well as plasma endothelin 1(ET-1),tumor necrosis factor ?(TNF-?)and interleukin 1(IL-1)were observed.【Results】Qi-strengthening and yin-nourishing,stasis-removing and regeneration-promoting herbal medicine relieved the symptoms and signs of the patients,decreased 24-hour urinary protein content,and improved the renal function parameters in renal compensatory and decompensatory stages.The herbal medicine could also decrease blood lipid and fasting blood glucose levels,improve blood rheology indexes,and decrease serum IL-1 and ET-1 levels(P
