Effects of adjuvant therapy with low molecular weight heparin on nephrotic syndrome in 32 cases / 中国基层医药

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of adjuvant therapy with low molecular weight heparin on nephrotic syndrome.Methods:Sixty-four patients with nephrotic syndrome who received treatment in Linyi People's Hospital between January 2018 and January 2020 were included in this study. They were randomly assigned to receive either conventional treatment combined with low molecular weight heparin treatment (observation group, n = 32) or conventional treatment (control group, n = 32) for 28 successive days. Before and after treatment, renal function indexes, blood lipid, coagulation function indexes, clinical efficacy, and adverse reactions were compared between the two groups. Results:After treatment, serum creatinine, urea nitrogen, 24-hour urinary protein, total cholesterol and triacylglycerol levels in the observation group were (109.21 ± 9.81) μmol/L, (5.35 ± 1.01) mmol/L, (1.12 ± 0.25) g/L, (5.12 ± 1.09) mmol/L, (1.52 ± 0.18) mmol/L, respectively, which were significantly lower than those in the control group [(120.54 ± 9.72) μmol/L, (6.05 ± 0.95) mmol/L, (1.42 ± 0.28) g/L, (6.92 ± 1.15) mmol/L, (1.96 ± 0.22) mmol/L, t = 4.641, 2.855, 4.521, 6.426, 8.756, all P < 0.05]. The activated partial thromboplastin time and prothrombin time in the observation group were (1.52 ± 0.18) seconds and (14.57 ± 1.70) seconds, respectively, which were significantly longer than those in the control group [(31.02 ± 4.59) seconds, (12.62 ± 1.67) seconds, t = -4.388, -4.628, both P < 0.05]. Total effective rate in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group [96.88% (31/32) vs. 75.00% (24/32), χ2 = 6.335, P < 0.05]. The time to relief of symptom in the observation group was significantly shorter than that in the control group [(3.12 ± 1.42) weeks vs. (5.04 ± 1.24) weeks, t = -5.761, P < 0.05). The incidence of adverse reactions in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group [3.13% (1/32) vs. 21.88% (7/32), χ2 = 5.143, P < 0.05]. Conclusion:Based on conventional treatment, adjuvant therapy with low molecular weight heparin for nephrotic syndrome can greatly improve clinical symptoms, increase clinical efficacy, and decrease the incidence of adverse reactions.
