Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To study the clinical characteristics relating to differential diagnosis of diabetic nephropathy (DN) and non-diabetic renal disease (NDRD).

METHODS: The subjects were patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) complicated with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Western medical history data and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) symptom pattern were collected, and logistic regression was used to analyze.

RESULTS: Blood deficiency pattern [odds ratio (OR) = 2.269, P = 0.017] and Qi stagnation pattern (OR = 1.999, P = 0.041) are independently related to DN.

CONCLUSIONS: TCM factors blood deficiency pattern and Qi stagnation pattern are relating to differential diagnosis of DN and NDRD.
