Research Progress on The Related Mechanism of Diabetic Angiopathy and TCM Collateral Diseases Treatment Scheme |Biomedgrid

The two most common types of diabetic complications include macrovascular disease and microvascular disease, among them, diabetic nephropathy (DN) is one of the common clinical diabetic microvascular complications and an important cause of endstage renal failure in diabetic patients, which has become the main cause of death. The pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy is very complex and is known to be related to a variety of factors, including hemodynamic changes, oxidative stress, genetic factors, inflammatory mediators, impaired glucose metabolism and cytokines. Although strict control of blood glucose can delay the progression of the disease, the current treatment effect is still not ideal. In recent years, TCM collateral diseases have played an important role in the treatment. This paper reviews the research progress of vascular diseases and the treatment of TCM collateral diseases.
