Clinical Observation of Acupuncture Combined with Ji Sheng Shen Qi Pills for Diabetic Kidney Disease due to Dual Deficiency of Yin and Yang

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of acupuncture plus Ji Sheng Shen Qi pills in treating diabetic kidney disease(DKD)due to dual deficiency of yin and yang.Method Eighty-eight patients with DKD due to dual deficiency of yin and yang were allocated to an observation group and a control group by the randomized grouping method,with 44 cases in each group.The control group was intervened by conventional Western medicine treatment,and the observation group was given additional acupuncture plus Ji Sheng Shen Qi pills,both for 12 consecutive weeks.The symptom and sign score of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)and each individual symptom score,and the levels of glycometabolism indexes[fasting plasma glucose(FPG),2 h postprandial plasma glucose(2hPG)and glycated hemoglobin(HbAlc)],kidney function parameters[serum creatinine(SCr),blood urea nitrogen(BUN),urine microalbumin(mALB)and urinary albumin excretion rate(UAER)],and inflammatory factors[high-sensitivity C-reactive protein(hs-CRP)and tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-α]were observed before and after treatment in the two groups.Result The clinical total effective rate was significantly higher in the observation group than in the control group(P<0.05).After treatment,the total TCM symptom and sign score and individual symptom scores were significantly lower in the observation group than in the control group(P<0.05);the levels of glycometabolism indexes(FPG,2hPG and HbAlc),kidney function parameters(Scr,BUN,UAER and mALB)and inflammatory factors(hs-CRP and TNF-α)were lower in the observation group than in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion Based on the conventional Western medicine treatment,acupuncture plus Ji Sheng Shen Qi pills is effective in treating DKD due to dual deficiency of yin and yang;it can notably improve the symptoms like cold limbs,loose stool,pale complexion,puffy face and eyes and soreness of waist and tinnitus,ameliorate glycometabolism,reduce UAER and delay the progressive injury to kidney function,and the mechanism may be associated with the down-regulation of inflammatory factors.
