Abstract:
Objective To observe the effect of combined rosuvastatin and ezetimibe on early diabetic nephropathy(DN).
Methods One hundred and fifty-eight DN patients with their blood sugar well controlled were randomly divided into treatment group and control group.Patients in treatment group were given ezetimibe(10mg/d) and rosuvastatin(10mg/d) with the addition of routine treatment and those in control group were given only rosuvastatin(10mg/d) to observe their fasting blood glucose,postprandial 2-h blood glucose,total cholesterol,triglycerides,low density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C),high density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C),creatinine,serum creatine kinase,alanine aminotransferase,aspartate aminotransferase levels,urinary protein excretion rate(UAER) and other biochemical indicators.
Results The LDL-C,fasting blood glucose,postprandial 2-h blood glucose levels and UAER were significantly lower in treatment group than in control group after treatment(P<0.05).No significant difference was observed in transaminase and creatinine between the two groups.
Conclusion Combined ezetimibe and rosuvastatin can improve the lipid profile and reduce UAER,fasting blood glucose,postprandial 2-h blood glucose levels more effectively than rosuvastatin alone with no damage to liver,kidney and muscle.
