Application and efficiency of kidney-helping and blood-activating paste in senile diabetic kidney disease of Qi-Yin Deficiency Syndrome / 中华老年医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To observe the application and efficiency of Bushen Huoxue Plaster in senile subjects with diabetic kidney disease with Qi-Yin Deficiency with Blood stasis.Methods:A total of 100 elderly diabetic kidney disease(DKD)patients with Qi-Yin deficiency and Blood stasis syndrome in Endocrinology Department of Zhejiang Province Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Hospital from February 2020 to May 2021were randomly divided into observation group(n=50)receiving TonifyingKidney and Activating Blood Paste plus TCM directional drug penetration therapy instrument for 10 days and control group(n=50)receiving placebo paste plus TCM directional drug penetration therapy instrument for 10 d. Main symptom score, overall syndrome score, urinary albumin/ creatinine ratio were observed and recorded.Results:After treatment, the observation group versus the control groups showed the statistically significant improvement in dry mouth and pharynx[(0.06±0.24)versus(0.30±0.68)score point, in feeling tired[(0.49±0.76)versus(0.98±1.02)score point], in spontaneous sweating or sweating after exercise[(0.08±0.27) vs.(0.32±0.69)score point], in limb numbness[(0.49±0.64) vs.(0.83±0.93)score point], in urination obstruction[(0.20±0.53) vs.(0.55±0.92)score point], and in total syndrome score[(1.65±2.06) vs.(3.36±2.53)score point, (all P<0.05)].The mean Ridit value of urinary albumin/creatinine ratio decreased in the observation group of chronic kidney disease stage A2 was 0.595 being higher than 0.405 in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant( P<0.05). Conclusions:The kidney-helping and blood-activating paste can improve the clinical symptoms of senile patients, and may have a certain effect on improving the urine albumin/creatinine ratio of patients with early diabetic kidney disease, and it is worthy of clinical application.
