Abstract:Objective To investigate the effects of beraprost sodium combined with valsartan on glycolipid metabolism and renal function in patients with diabetic nephropathy.Methods The study subjects were 102 patients with diabetic nephropathy who received treatment at the Affiliated Hospital of North Sichuan Medical College from January 2022 to January 2025. According to different treatment methods, the patients were divided into a control group and an observation group. The control group, consisting of 48 cases, was treated with valsartan alone, while the observation group, with 54 cases, received combined treatment of beraprost sodium and valsartan. Both groups were treated for 6 months. The levels of inflammatory factors, blood glucose, blood lipid, renal function and renal hemodynamics of the two groups were compared before and after treatment, and the incidence of adverse reactions during medication was recorded in all patients.Results The post-treatment levels of TNF-α, hs-CRP, and IL-6 in the observation group were all lower than those in the control group(P < 0.05). The magnitude of change (difference) in TNF-α, hs-CRP, and IL-6 in the observation group was greater than that in the control group(P < 0.05). The post-treatment levels of FPG, 2h PPG, and HbA1c in the observation group were all lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05). The magnitude of change in FPG, 2h PPG, and HbA1c in the observation group was greater than that in the control group (P < 0.05). The post-treatment levels of TC and TG in the observation group were all lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05). The magnitude of change in TC and TG in the observation group was greater than that in the control group (P < 0.05). The post-treatment levels of BUN, Cr, and 24h-UP in the observation group were all lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05). The magnitude of change in BUN, Cr, and 24h-UP in the observation group was greater than that in the control group (P < 0.05). The post-treatment levels of Vsmax and Vdmax in the observation group were higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05), while RI was lower (P < 0.05). The magnitude of change in Vsmax, Vdmax, and RI in the observation group was greater than that in the control group (P < 0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the total incidence of adverse reactions between the control group and the observation group (P > 0.05).Conclusion Beraprost sodium combined with valsartan in the treatment of diabetic nephropathy can effectively reduce the levels of inflammatory factors, blood glucose and blood lipids in patients, significantly improve the renal function indicators, and the combined medication does not increase the risk of adverse reactions.
