Abstract: Objective To observe the effect of Ginkgo Biloba Extract Injection on urinary albumin excretion rate in patients with diabetic nephropathy (DN). Methods A total of 90 patients with DN were divided into two groups: group A was micro-urinary-albumin group; group B was multiple-urinary-albumin group. Both groups were treated with routine therapy plus Ginkgo biloba extract injection (at a dose of 15ml) q.d. for 4 consecutive weeks. The urinary albumin excretion rate was compared between the two groups before and after treatment. Results As compared with the group B, urinary albumin excretion rate was significantly lowered in the group A (P＜0.01). Conclusion Ginkgo Biloba Extract Injection had effects in lowering microalbumin in urine and therapeutic effect for patients with early DN.
