Yuquan pill enhance the effect of Western medicine in treatment diabetic nephropathy

Abstract Background: Diabetic nephropathy is glomerular sclerosis caused by diabetic microvascular disease, which is one of the most serious complications of diabetes. At present, the traditional treatment of diabetic nephropathy is mainly based on the control of blood pressure, blood sugar, blood lipids, and other basic treatments using angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor/angiotensin receptor blocker, the clinical reports of relying solely on angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor/ angiotensin receptor blocker to delay the course of diabetic nephropathy are not optimistic. Yuquan pill (YQP), a classic traditional Chinese medicine prescription, has clinical reports that it can effectively assist in the treatment of diabetic nephropathy with minimal side effects. However, there has been no systematic review of the YQP in the treatment of diabetic nephropathy. This article systematically evaluated the effectiveness and safety of YQP clinical applications. Methods: The database search include seven databases, including PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, Chinese Scientific Journal Database, and Wanfang database. The search date was set as a randomized controlled trial from the establishment of the database to April 21, 2021. The main outcome indicators include urinealbumin excretion rate, serum creatinine, urea nitrogen, Total effective rate. The analysis software uses Stata 15. Results: This study will analyze multiple outcome indicators such as clinical efficacy, urinary albumin excretion rate, blood creatinine value, urea nitrogen, and symptom scores. Provides a the latest evidence for YQP in the treatment of diabetic nephropathy (DN). Conclusion: The results of this study will provide evidence for the efficacy of YQP in the treatment of DN.
