Abstract
Introduction: Diabetic nephropathy develops in 40% of patients 10 years after the diagnosis of diabetes, with albuminuria >300mg/dl (>200µg/min) more than twice in 3-6 months. (1) Strict glycemic control reduces mortality by 48% (2) and macroalbuminuria by 50%. The Terrabrio SAPI de CV group developed the Elevaté® Body Balance phytoformula made with Shilajit (Asphaltum punjabianum), Chaga (Inonotus obliquus), Moringa (Moringa oleifera), Berberine (Berberina vulgaris, Coptis chinensis French) and Bayetilla (Hamelia patens) used in traditional herbal medicine.
Objective: To evaluate changes in albuminuria in patients with DM2 treated with a phytoformula as adjuvant therapy.
Methods: A controlled clinical trial was conducted in 269 patients with DM2 treated with oral hypoglycemic agents plus 1.5 g/day of the phytoformulation under treatment for 90 days; a sub analysis of 20 patients with albuminuria was performed.
Results: In the 20 patients with albuminuria, age was 53.20 (49.25-58) years, 12(60%) women and 8(40%) men; time of diagnosis of DM2 was 7.41±4.36 years, treated with metformin 16(80%), sulfonylureas 19(95%) and insulin 3(15%); 3-month changes in waist from 95.85±9. 82 to 93.80±10.34 with p 0.044; HbA1c from 9.82±1.24 to 7.28±1.70 with p 0.0001; BUN from 10.44±3.43 to 12.30±5.53 with p 0.023; Albuminuria from 43.50±36.45 to 30±35.39 with p 0.0001; GFR from 93.57±14.54 to 93.85±18.56 with p 0.908, with no differences in BMI, blood pressure, urea, and creatinine. Correlation was 0.795 between HbAc1 and albuminuria.
Conclusions: Phytoformula reduced waist, HbA1c and albuminuria at 3 months; no changes in BMI and GFR were present.
期刊介绍:
The American Heart Journal will consider for publication suitable articles on topics pertaining to the broad discipline of cardiovascular disease. Our goal is to provide the reader primary investigation, scholarly review, and opinion concerning the practice of cardiovascular medicine. We especially encourage submission of 3 types of reports that are not frequently seen in cardiovascular journals: negative clinical studies, reports on study designs, and studies involving the organization of medical care. The Journal does not accept individual case reports or original articles involving bench laboratory or animal research.
