Abstract
Objective To assess the clinical effectiveness of Wenyang-Gushen-Huayu decoction on treating diabetic nephropathy(DN). Methods One hundred and twenty DN patients in Hospital of Penglai Chinese Medicine were included and randomly divided into treatment group and observation group. Both groups were given conventional treatment, and the treatment group was added with Wenyang-Gushen-Huayu decoction. One course of treatment lasted four weeks in both groups and each group was observed for 2 courses. The clinical symptoms, vital signs, urinary albumin excretion rate(UAER), and 24 h urinary protein were observed. Results The treatment group showed significantly higher effective rate(93.34% vs.73.33%)than that in the control groupa(χ2=8.640, P=0.003). The Wenyang-Gushen-Huayu decoction significantly improved the symptoms of waist chills(2.47 ± 1.11 vs. 2.92 ± 1.36, t=1.986), edema of face and feet(1.81 ± 0.96 vs. 2.14 ± 1.01, t=5.165), fatigue of the gods(2.83 ± 1.12 vs. 3.51 ± 1.18, t=3.237), UAER(326.4 ± 98.7 μg/min vs. 421.5 ± 185.6 μg/min; t=3.504)and UP(0.7 ± 0.33 g/24h vs. 1.0 ± 0.37 g/24h; t=1.845). Conclusions The Wenyang-Gushen-Huayu decoction could improve the symptoms and reduce UAER of DN patients. Key words: Diabetic nephropathy; Wenyang-Gushen-Huayu decoction; UAER; Up; Clinical study
