Clinical Observation on Breviscapine in Treating Hypertension Patients Complicated with Micro-albuminuria of Renal Impai

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of Breviscapine on essential hypertension (EH) patients complicated with micro-albuminuria of renal impairment. Methods: Seventy-six EH patients were randomly assigned to the control group and the treated group, the former was given amlodipine, captopril/uropidil and the latter was given in addition Breviscapine intravenously dripped for 2 treatment courses. The indexes of serum creatinine (Cr), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), blood and urinary β2-microglobulin (β2-MG), and quantitative determination of 24 hrs urinary protein were evaluated before and after treatment. Results: In the control group, compared with before treatment, the quantitative determination of 24 hrs urinary protein got reduced significantly (P＜0.05), while in the treated group, both urinary β2-MG and quantitative determination of 24 hrs urinary protein got lowered significantly (P＜0.05 and P＜0.01). But after treatment, compared with the control group, urinary β2-MG and quantitative determination of 24 hrs urinary protein in the treated group were obviously reduced (P＜0.05). Conclusion: Besides lowering blood pressure effectively, Breviscapine could improve the renal function significantly and reduce the urinary micro-albuminuria, hence showing promising effect on renal protection.
