Clinical analysis of the effect of Rhodiola kirilowii Regel combined with calcium dobesilate in the treatment of early diabetic nephropathy

Abstract

Objective To explore the effect of Rhodiola kirilowii Regel combined with calcium dobesilate in the treatment of early diabetic nephropathy. Methods 80 patients with early diabetic nephropathy were selected, and they were divided into treatment group and control group according to the digital table, 40 cases in each group.The two groups were given diet control and appropriate exercise and positive controlled blood sugar, blood fat, blood pressure.The control group was given calcium dobesilate, based on this, the treatment group was given Rhodiola kirilowii Regel 10mL into 5% glucose injection 250mL and 3 unit insulin to intravenous drip.The period of treatment was fifteen days.The UAER, Scr and BUN were compared between two groups before treatment and fifteen days after treatment. Results Before treatment, the Scr, BUN and UAER in the control group were (88.00±18.19)μmol/L, (5.98±1.92)mmol/L, (123.31±60.01)μg/min respectively, which in the treatment group were (85.80±18.31)μmol/L, (5.96±1.94)mmol/L, (140.21±62.92)μg/min respectively, there were no statistically significant differences between the two groups(t=-1.191, -0.016, 0.432, all P>0.05). After treatment, the Scr, BUN and UAER in the control group were (84.61±11.71)μmol/L, (6.30±1.37)mmol/L, (97.81±49.16)μg/min respectively, which in the treatment group were (75.60±11.44)μmol/L, (5.25±1.24)mmol/L, (39.81±23.43)μg/min.There were no statistically significant differences in Scr and BUN of the two groups compared with before treatment(the control group: t=0.767, -0.657; the treatment group: t=1.947, 1.219, all P>0.05). There was statistically significant difference in UAER of the two groups compared with before treatment(t=2.850, 5.402; P=0.046, 0.006), but UAER of the treatment group after treatment decreased significantly.After treatment, there were no statistically significant differences in Scr and BUN between the two groups(t=-1.229, -1.236, all P>0.05), while there was statistically significant difference in UAER between the two groups(t=-2.394, P=0.044). The effective rate in the treatment group was 87.5%, which was higher than 57.5% of the control group(χ2=9.028, P<0.05). Conclusion Rhodiola kirilowii Regel combined with calcium dobesilate can ameliorate protenuria and improve renal function of the patients with early diabetic nephropathy.
