Abstract:Objective To investigate effect of Yiqi Ziyin Huoxue Huayu method combined with valsartan on treatment for diabetic nephropathy and its influence on hemorheology and oxidative stress. Methods Totally 110 patients with diabetic nephropathy were selected in hospital from October 2015 to October 2017, who were divided into two groups by random number table method. 55 patients treated by valsartan as control group. 61 patients treated by Yiqi Ziyin Huoxue Huayu method combined with valsartan as observation group. Indexes of renal function, hemorheology and oxidative stress were detected before and after treatment. Clinical effect and safety were compared between two groups. Results Differences of Ccr, 24 hUab, BUN, SCr, NBL, NBH, Fb, ESR, SOD, MDA and TAOC before and after treatment in observation group were higher than those in control group(P < 0.05). Total effective rate in observation group was higher than that in control group(P < 0.05).There were no significant differences in adverse reactions (abnormal liver function, transient hypotension, gastrointestinal reaction) between two groups (P > 0.05). Conclusions Yiqi Ziyin Huoxue Huayu method combined with valsartan have significant effect on treatment for diabetic nephropathy, which can improve hemorheology and relieve oxidative stress.
