Effect of Liraglutide Combined with Nephritis Rehabilitation Tablets for Type 2 Diabetic Nephropathy

Objective: To explore the effect of liraglutide combined with Nephritis Rehabilitation Tablets in the treatment of type 2 diabetic nephropathy. Methods: Ninety patients with type 2 diabetic nephropathy who had received treatment in the Hospital from January 2018 to March 2019 were enrolled, and then randomly divided into a Liraglutide group, a Nephritis Rehabilitation Tablets group and a combined treatment group, with 30 cases in each group. All patients were given routine treatment. Besides, the Liraglutide group was treated with subcutaneous injection of liraglutide, the Nephritis Rehabilitation Tablets group was treated with oral Nephritis Rehabilitation Tablets, and the combined treatment group was given subcutaneous injection of liraglutide and oral administration of Nephritis Rehabilitation Tablets. The three groups were treated continuously for 12 weeks to compare the changes of glucose metabolism index, renal function and inflammatory factors. Results: After treatment, the levels of FPG, 2hPG and HbALc were decreased in the three groups, and the levels in the combined treatment group were lower than the liraglutide group and the Nephritis Rehabilitation Tablets group, and the liraglutide group lower than the Nephritis Rehabilitation Tablets group. The difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). After treatment, the levels of serum creatinine and urea nitrogen decreased in the three groups, and the levels in the combined treatment group were lower than the liraglutide group and the Nephritis Rehabilitation Tablets group, and the Nephritis Rehabilitation Tablets group lower than the liraglutide group. The difference was statistically significant (P<0.05) After treatment, the levels of IL-6, TNF-α, and hs-CRP decreased in the three groups, and the levels in the combined treatment group were lower than the liraglutide group and the Nephritis Rehabilitation Tablets group. The difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusions: For patients with type 2 diabetic nephropathy, Liraglutide combined with Nephritis Rehabilitation Tablets can help reduce the blood sugar, relieve renal inflammation and improve their renal function.
