ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the influence of treatment with milkvetch root and red sage root injections on changes in blood viscosity and renal function in patients with early diabetic nephropathy(EDN).Methods 160 patients with EDN were randomly divided into two groups.The control group (n=80) was treated with conventional therapy for diabetes,and the treatment group (n=80) was treated with milkvetch root injection combined with red sage root injection based on conventional therapy for 4 weeks.Results After the above-mentioned therapy the parameters of blood viscosity were significantly decreased(P
