The Effect of TCM Syndrome Type and Western Medicine Detection on Patients with Hypertension and Diabetes Mellitus

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinical changes of TCM syndrome type and microalbuminuria in patients with hypertension and diabetes mellitus. METHODS: A total of 442 patients with hypertension and diabetes who were admitted to our hospital from June 2016 to June 2021 were selected. All patients were divided into medication group and control group according to the random number method. Patients in the medication group were treated with conventional Western medicine-assisted traditional Chinese medicine, while patients in the control group were not treated with adjuvant medicine. The blood pressure and blood glucose of patients in the two groups were controlled within the normal range, and the clinical effects of the two groups were observed. RESULTS: The treatment of hypertension and diabetes in the two groups was diagnosed by the TCM syndrome type, and the cure rate was higher in the medication group. After 3 months, the glomerular filtration rate in the medication group increased steadily and the renal artery resistance index decreased, while the indexes in the control group had no significant change, with statistical significance (P < 0.05). After 6 months, the urinary albumin excretion rate and the ratio of urinary albumin to creatinine in the medication group were significantly decreased compared with those before medication, while there were no significant changes in the control group, with statistical significance (P < 0.05). The urine excretion rate of albumin in hypertensive patients with diabetes is higher, leading to the increased probability of microalbuminuria in patients, which is not only related to the course of hypertension and diabetes but also positively related to the course of hypertension and diabetes, smoking, drinking, and diet. CONCLUSION: The combination of the TCM syndrome type and Western medicine detection method is more conducive to the two diagnosis and treatment methods that complement each other, improve each other, improve the effect of diagnosis and treatment, and are worthy of further research by researchers, so as to promote clinical application. Some other bad habits should also be corrected, such as smoking, drinking, and irregular diet, through adjusting the diet; control of high protein intake is also an important intervention measure for disease.
