Effects of adjuvant Qishen Yiqi Drop Pill therapy on renal function changes and prognosis of patients with early diabetic nephropathy

摘要

Objective: To study the effects of adjuvant Qishen Yiqi Drop Pill therapy on renal function changes and prognosis of patients with early diabetic nephropathy. Methods: The patients with early diabetic nephropathy treated in our hospital between February 2015 and April 2017 were chosen and divided into two groups by random number table, observation group received Qishen Yiqi Drop Pill combined with conventional therapy and control group accepted conventional therapy. The renal function indexes, cytokine contents and oxygen free radical generation were compared before treatment and 3 months after treatment. Results:Urine UREA levels as well as serum β2 microglobulin (β2-MG), cystatin C (CysC), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1), interleukin-17 (IL-17), transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), malondialdehyde (MDA) and 8-iso-prostaglandin F2α (8-iso-PGF2α) contents of both groups were significantly lower while superoxide dismutase (SOD) and total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) contents were significantly higher after treatment, and urine UREA level as well as serum β2-MG, CysC, TNF-α, IL-6, SDF-1, IL-17, TGF-β1, MDA and 8-iso-PGF2α contents of observation group after treatment was significantly lower than those of control group while SOD and T-AOC contents were significantly higher than those of control group. Conclusion: Adjuvant Qishen Yiqi Drop Pill therapy can improve the renal function and reduce the inflammatory response and oxidative stress response in early diabetic nephropathy.
