PG - 915-8 AB - OBJECTIVE: To explore the relationship between Chinese medicine syndrome patterns (CMSP) and their associated factors in patients with type 2 diabetic nephropathy stage III (DN2-3). METHODS: Retrospective analysis was conducted on 209 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The patients were allocated into two groups, the DN2-3 group and the control group. Some related clinical materials and laboratory indexes, including age, course of disease, body mass index (BMI), glycosylated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), blood levels of total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high and low density lipoprotein (HDL and LDL), serum creatinine (Scr) and microalbuminuria (MALB) as well as their CMSP (both the essential syndrome and the superficial syndrome) in the DN2-3 group were collected and compared. RESULTS: Significant differences were found between the DN2-3 group and the control group in aspects of course of disease (months, 107.74 +/- 96.19 vs. 82.03 +/- 79.10), BMI (kg/m2, 26.25 +/- 4.02 vs. 24.95 +/- 3.56) and Scr level (mmoL/L, 71.93 +/- 24.24 vs. 65.91 +/- 13.70, P < 0.05). The qi-yin deficiency SP (38 cases, 36.19%), and the blood stasis (51 cases, 48.58%) presented as the dominant essential and superficial CM-SP respectively in DN2-3 patients, holding the highest proportion. Analysis on the relationship of associated indices among patients with different CMSP showed statistical differences presented in level of MALB, i.e. which in pi-shen qi-deficiency SP (128.77 +/- 103.59 mg/24 h) was higher than in yin-deficiency dryness-fire SP and qi-yin deficiency SP (88.43 +/- 68.93 mg/24h and 82.60 +/- 55.22 mg/24 h, P < 0.05); it also presented in HbA1c (%) and TG levels(mmol/L), those in stasis SP were 10.73 +/- 2.71 and 2.29 +/- 1.58 ), in dampness SP were 8.80 +/- 2.19% and 4.37 +/- 5.92, and in stasis-phlegm SP were 8.83 +/- 2.09 and 2.40 +/- 2.18 (all P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The risk factors for occurrence of DN2-3 may be the course of disease, BMI and Scr. Qi-yin deficiency with blood-stasis is the most commonly encountered syndrome in patients with DN2-3. Relations of MALB with Pi-Shen qi-deficiency pattern; HbA1c with blood-stasis pattern, and TG with dampness syndrome are distinctly exhibited in them.
