Abstract:
Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a major global public health concern due to its high prevalence and mortality, and high healthcare cost. Conventional Western therapies for DKD fail to provide favourable efficacy. Chinese medicine (CM) has been widely used to combat DKD in China and other Asian countries. The clinical effects and mechanism of CM in treating DKD have not been fully elucidated. This review summarizes current knowledge of CM therapeutic modalities for DKD, especially Chinese herbal medicine (CHM), and potential mechanisms.
