Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: 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: 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: 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.
