Objective To explore more effective treatments of Chinese medicine for diabetic nephropathy.Methods This study took opened non-relevant documents knowledge discovery method to study the diabetic nephropathy literatures in order to find the hidden links among literatures. A valuable scientific hypothesis will be put forward upon the study to guide or implement a new knowledge discovery after it acquire the agreement of experts. Results Use keywords frequency statistics method based on open non-related literature knowledge discovery, the anti-inflammatory herbs were filtered out Most herbs with anti-inflammatory effects had the functions of clearing away heat and detoxicating, expelling wind and removing dampness.
