Methods 114 cases of type 2 diabetes were randomly separated into experiment group and control group. Members in the experiment group were treated by integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine and Members in the control group were treated with western medicine alone for 8 weeks' course separately. At the end of therapeutic courses, levels of 24 h total proteinuria, serum creatinine, blood-fasting sugar were evaluated. Results In the experiment group, 8 cases got outstanding effects(11.1%), 50 cases got improvement(69.4%), and 14 cases got no effect (19.4%), with a total effective rate of 80.6%. In the control group, 0 cases got significant effect, 24 cases got improvement(33.3%), and 48 cases got no effect(66.7%), with a total effective rate of 33.3%. There was significant difference in total effective rate between the two groups (P＜0.05), that the total effective rate of the experiment group was significantly higher than that of the control group. Conclusion Integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine therapy can be more effective in treating diabetic nephropathy.
