abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To observe the clinical effect of Qidi Yiqi Yangyin Huoxue Recipe (QYYHR) on diabetic nephropathy (DN) at stage III and IV.
  
  
  METHODS
  One hundred type 2 DN patients of qi-yin deficiency with blood-stasis syndrome were randomly divided into two groups, all were treated with basal hypoglycemic treatment but with QYYHR given to the treatment group additionally for 3 months. The symptoms were observed, blood glucose, urinary albumin excretion rate (UAER), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine (Cr) and hemorheological parameters were detected before and after treatment.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The total effective rate was higher in the treatment group than that in the control group (89.6% vs. 68.1%, P < 0.01), and the improvement of UAER, BUN, Cr and hemorheological parameters was also significantly better in the former than in the latter (P < 0.05).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  QYYHR has favorable effects on type 2 DN of qi-yin deficiency with blood-stasis syndrome.
