ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo observe the affection of cilostazol combined with valsartan in treating patients with early diabetic nephropathy on serum homocysteine and cystatin C,MethodsNinety-six cases with early diabetic nephropathy were divided into two groups by random digits table method with 48 cases each:observation group was treated with cilostazol and valsartan,control group was treated with valsartan alone.The effect and the levels of 24 h urinary albumin,serum homocysteine and cystatin C before and after treatment in two groups were compared.ResultsThe total effective rate in observation group [85.4％(41/48) ] was significantly higher than that in control group [66.7％(32/48) ](P ＜ 0.05 ).The levels of 24 h urinary albumin,serum homocysteine and cystatin C were significantly decreased after treatment of three weeks in observation group and control group [ (125.48±13.76) mg,(9.25±3.52)p mol/L,(7.82±2.14) mg/L and (168.38±15.43) mg,(13.72±4.23) μ mol/L,(9.57±2.85) mg/L vs.(279.31±21.52) mg,(18.52±6.14) μ mol/L,( 13.25±3.79) mg/L and (275.24±19.31 ) mg,( 18.48±6.12) μ mol/L,( 13.19±3.76)mg/L](P＜ 0.05).And the levels of 24 h urinary albumin,serum homocysteine and cystatin C after treatment of three weeks in observation group were obviously lower than those in control group(P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Cilostazol combined with valsartan in treating patients with early diabetic nephropathy can improve clinical effect obviously,degrade the level of urinary albumin,homocysteine and cystatin C.Therefore,it deserves to be applied in clinic.
