Retrospective study on the effect of Niaoduqing particles on outcome of non-diabetic patients with stage IV chronic kidney disease

Abstract

This study was to investigate the improvement value of Niaoduqing particles in the outcome of non-diabetic patients with stage IV chronic kidney disease (CKD). The non-diabetic patients with stage IV CKD who were to receive Niaoduqing particles were set as the study group (252 cases), and the patients with the same disease who only received Western medicine in the public database were set as the control group (220 cases). The follow-up visits were 3 months/time for 1 year. Deaths due to various causes, doubling of creatinine levels, and end-stage renal disease were used as hard end points to stop follow-up. The clinical indexes of the 2 groups were observed and compared. The results showed that the rate of compound outcome was significantly lower in the study group (28.17%) than in the control group (36.82%), the glomerular filtration rate was significantly higher than that in the control group, and the levels of uric acid and urea were significantly lower than that in the control group (P < .05). Niaoduqing particles can reduce creatinine and urea nitrogen, stabilize renal function, delay dialysis time, and improve the incidence of compound outcome in patients with non-diabetic stage IV CKD, which is worthy of clinical promotion.
