Clinical observation of Huangkui capsule combined with cyclophosphamide and prednisone in the treatment of IgA nephropathy with renal insufficiency
To explore the clinical efficacy and safety of Huangkui capsule combined with cyclophosphamide and prednisone in the treatment of immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy with renal insufficiency.
METHODS
2
A total of 117 patients with IgA nephropathy and renal insufficiency who were hospitalized in the department of nephrology of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University from February 2021 to March 2024 were divided into prednisone group (
n
=38), cyclophosphamide group (
n
=39) and Huangkui group (
n
=40) according to the random number table method. On the basis of standardized basic treatment, the three groups were treated with prednisone, prednisone + cyclophosphamide, and prednisone + cyclophosphamide + Huangkui capsule, respectively, with a course of 6 months. The clinical efficacy, renal function indexes, immunoglobulin levels, inflammatory factor levels before and after treatment, and the incidence of adverse reactions during treatment were compared among the three groups.
RESULTS
2
Finally, 107 patients completed the study (35 in prednisone group, 37 in cyclophosphamide group, and 35 in Huangkui group). After 6 months of treatment, there was a statistically significant difference in the total effective rate among the three groups (
P
=0.028), and the total effective rate of the Huangkui group was significantly higher than that of the prednisone group (
P
=0.023). In terms of renal function, the levels of blood urea nitrogen (BUN), serum creatinine (Scr), and urinary microalbumin (Umalb) in the three groups after treatment were significantly lower than those before treatment, while the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was significantly higher than that before treatment (
P
<0.05). Among them, the Huangkui group was superior to the other two groups in reducing BUN level (
P
<0.05), and both the Huangkui group and cyclophosphamide group were superior to the prednisone group in improving Scr, Umalb and eGFR (
P
<0.05). In terms of immunology, both the Huangkui group and
cyclophosphamide group were superior to the prednisone group in increasing IgG level and decreasing IgA and IgM levels (
P
<0.05). In terms of inflammatory factors, the Huangkui group was superior to the prednisone group and cyclophosphamide group in reducing tumor necrosis factor-α level (
P
<0.05), and superior to the prednisone group in reducing interleukin-6 level (
P
<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the total incidence of adverse reactions among the three groups (
P
>0.05).
CONCLUSIONS
2
Huangkui capsule combined with cyclophosphamide and prednisone has a good therapeutic effect on IgA nephropathy with renal insufficiency. It can further improve patients’ renal function and immune function, regulate inflammatory status, and has good safety.
