Abstract

Diabetes and hypertension are complex and serious diseases that may ultimately lead to renal complications. Adequate control of blood glucose and blood pressure contributes to decreased renal risks, but may not be sufficient for certain patients. The current study was undertaken to investigate the renoprotective effects of berberine as an adjuvant therapy to standard hypotensive and hypoglycemic treatment in hypertensive patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). In this 2‑year clinical study, 69 hypertensive patients with T2DM, whose blood pressure and fasting plasma glucose (FPG) were adequately controlled by hypotensive and oral hypoglycemic agents prior to the study, were enrolled and randomly assigned into control (33 cases) and add‑on (36 cases) groups. Berberine was orally administrated to the patients in the add‑on group concomitantly with standard hypotensive and hypoglycemic treatment. Baseline characteristics, including the levels of FPG, glycated hemoglobin, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, serum creatinine, urinary albumin‑to‑creatine ratio (UACR), urinary osteopontin and kidney injury molecule‑1 (KIM‑1) were determined. Furthermore, the oxidative stress markers malondialdehyde, urinary 8‑hydroxy‑2'‑deoxyguanosine, superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase and total‑antioxidant capacity, and the inflammatory parameters vascular adhesion molecule‑1, C‑reactive protein and high molecular weight‑adiponectin were evaluated. In addition, ultrasonographic parameters, including peak systolic velocity, end diastolic velocity and renal arterial resistance index were determined. After treatment, it was observed that the control and add‑on treatments were able to adequately control blood pressure and blood glucose. Patients in the add‑on group exhibited significant reductions in renal damage biochemical markers (UACR, urinary osteopontin and KIM‑1) and improved renal hemodynamics, in addition to reduced inflammation and oxidative stress. The present results suggest that berberine is beneficial for hypertensive patients with T2DM as add‑on therapy to standard hypotensive and hypoglycemic agents.
