Objective To observe the clinical effect of treating diabetic nephropathy with Shengqidihuang decoction combined with metformin. Methods 54 cases with diabetic nephropathy were randomly divided into two groups by means of random number table. Both groups were given diabetic routine treatment. The control group was treated with metformin, 0.25 mg each time, three times a day, based on the diabetic routine treatment for 8 weeks, and the treatment group was treated with Shengqidihuang decoction, once a day, 4 weeks as a course, continuously treated for 2 courses based on the control group. 24 h urinary protein (24hUAE) , serum creatinine (SCr) , blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and fasting blood glucose (FBG) were detected before and after the treatment. The clinical effect was observed between the two groups after the treatment. Results The total effective rate of the treatment group and the control group was 85.2% and 66.7% respectively, showing a significant difference (λ2=3.376, P<0.05). Compared with the control group, 24 hUA ,SCr, BUN and FBG in the treatment group decreased significantly (λ2=4.231, P<0.05) after the treatment.24hUAE, SCr, BUN and FBG decreased significantly after the treatment, especially in the treatment group, also showing a significant difference (λ2= 3.754, P<0.05). Conclusion The therapy of mefformin combined with Shengqidihuang decoction on diabetic nephropathy was better than metformin only.
