This is a study about objective parameters of Syndrome Differentiation of diabetic nephropathy (DN) using radio immunoassay (RIA) technique. The result showed that beta 2-microglobulin (beta 2-mG), alpha 1-microglobulin (alpha 1-mG) in blood rose significantly in both groups. The group of Spleen-Kidney Deficiency and Qi-Blood Deficiency as well as the group of Yang Deficiency caused edema and upward gush of turbid Yin, there was significant difference between two groups, also there was significant difference between the two groups in measuring on atrial natriuretic factor (ANP), pancreatic glucagon (PG) in blood and beta 2-mG. Immunoglobulin G (IgG), albumin (Alb), secretory immunoglobulin A(SIg A) in urine. So above-mentioned parameters offered us some objective data on Syndrome Differentiation of DN. It is vital in guiding the Syndrome Differentiation and treatment of DN.

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), 'Spleen-kidney-care' Yiqi Huayu and Jiangzhuo decoction (SKC-YJ), as an adjuvant therapy in diabetic nephropathy (DN) treatment. In total, 72 patients with DN were randomly divided into control (n=54) and experimental (n=18) groups, with the latter administered SKC-YJ treatment. Indicators for determining the condition of the patients included the levels of proteinuria, blood glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin, blood lipids, blood viscosity and C-reactive protein, which were used to analyze the treatment protocols for DN. Following SKC-YJ treatment, the urinary albumin excretion rate, fasting blood glucose, 2 h-postprandial blood glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin, triglyceride, total cholesterol, blood viscosity, fibrinogen and C-reactive protein levels were detected in the two groups, and were all demonstrated to decrease significantly following treatment with SKC-YJ. Furthermore, the results revealed that SKC-YJ treatment exhibited no significant side-effects on the blood, liver and renal functions or gastrointestinal reactions. By contrast, SKC-YJ improved the symptoms of nausea, vomiting and diarrhea in the patients with DN, while showing no allergic reaction during the observation period. Therefore, SKC-YJ treatment was shown to significantly improve the clinical efficacy of DN treatment, illustrating novel roles for TCM in DN treatment.
