摘要
目的:评价清热消正方辅助西医标准治疗对糖尿病肾病(DKD)患者肾脏预后的影响。方法:本回顾性研究纳入了2017年5月至2021年5月期间接受QRXZF治疗的DKD患者。将144例DKD患者,24 h尿总蛋白(24 h- utp)≥0.5 g,估计肾小球滤过率(eGFR)≥30 mL/min / 1.73 m2,根据是否接受QRXZF治疗分为治疗组和对照组。分析DKD患者的长期肾脏预后,以评估QRXZF的有效性。采用Kaplan-Meier曲线分析评估总生存期(OS)的差异。采用Cox比例风险回归分析确定肾脏终点的独立危险因素。结果:平均随访时间(28±15)个月。治疗组9例(12.5%)和对照组27例(37.5%)患者达到肾脏终点。多因素Cox回归分析显示,24 h-UTP≥3.5 g[危险比(HR) = 4.70, 95%可信区间(CI) (1.83, 12.05), P = 0.001]、合并冠状动脉疾病[HR = 3.39, 95% CI (1.65, 6.98), P = 0.001]、总胆固醇[HR = 1.34, 95% CI (1.05, 1.70), P = 0.019]和低密度脂蛋白[HR = 1.65, 95% CI (1.111, 2.45), P = 0.013]是DKD患者肾脏终点的独立预后因素。与治疗组相比,对照组发生肾终点事件的风险增加了2.68倍[HR = 2.68, 95% CI (1.19, 6.02);P = 0.017]。我们纳入48例24 h-UTP≥3.5 g的患者,对DKD患者进行进一步的分层分析。24h-UTP≥3.5 g患者肾脏终点的独立危险因素为吸烟史[HR = 5.52, 95% CI (1.131, 26.92), P = 0.035]。与治疗组相比,对照组发生肾终点事件的风险增加了3.01倍[HR = 3.01, 95% CI (1.05, 8.67);P = 0.041]。结论:QRXZF治疗改善了DKD患者的肾脏预后,减少了蛋白尿。这些结果表明,中药可能对已建立和晚期DKD有积极的治疗作用。需要进一步设计良好、随访时间较长的临床试验。
Traditional Chinese herbal medicine Qingre Xiaozheng formula improves renal outcomes in patients with diabetic kidney disease: a retrospective study.
Objective: To assess the benefits of Qingre Xiaozheng formula (, QRXZF) as an adjunct to standard Western medical management on renal outcomes in patients with diabetic kidney disease (DKD).
Methods: This retrospective study included patients with DKD who received the QRXZF between May 2017 and May 2021. A total of 144 patients with DKD, 24 h urinary total protein (24 h-UTP) ≥ 0.5 g, and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥ 30 mL/min per 1.73 m2 were divided into the treatment group or the control group based on whether they received QRXZF treatment. The long-term renal outcomes of patients with DKD were analyzed to evaluate the effectiveness of the QRXZF. Differences in overall survival (OS) were assessed using Kaplan-Meier curve analysis. Cox proportional hazards regression analysis was used to determine the independent risk factors for renal endpoints.
Results: The mean follow-up period was (28±15) months. Nine (12.5%) patients in the treatment group and 27 (37.5%) patients in the control group met the renal endpoints. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that 24 h-UTP ≥ 3.5 g [hazard ratio (HR) = 4.70, 95% confidence interval (CI) (1.83, 12.05), P = 0.001], combined coronary artery disease [HR = 3.39, 95% CI (1.65, 6.98), P = 0.001], total cholesterol [HR = 1.34, 95% CI (1.05, 1.70), P = 0.019] and low-density lipoprotein [HR = 1.65, 95% CI (1.111, 2.45), P = 0.013] were independent prognostic factors for renal endpoints in patients with DKD. Compared with the treatment group, the risk of renal endpoint events increased 2.68-fold in the control group [HR = 2.68, 95% CI (1.19, 6.02); P = 0.017]. We included 48 patients with 24 h-UTP ≥ 3.5 g in a further stratification analysis of patients with DKD. The independent risk factor for the renal endpoints in patients with 24h-UTP ≥ 3.5 g was smoking history [HR = 5.52, 95% CI (1.131, 26.92), P = 0.035]. Compared with the treatment group, the risk of renal endpoint events increased 3.01-fold in the control group [HR = 3.01, 95% CI (1.05, 8.67); P = 0.041].
Conclusions: The results show that QRXZF treatment improved renal outcomes and reduced proteinuria in patients with DKD. These results indicate that Traditional Chinese Medicine is likely to have a positive therapeutic effect on established and advanced DKD. Further well-designed clinical trials with longer follow-up periods are required.
