Methods: The subjects were patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) complicated with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Western medical history data and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) symptom pattern were collected, and logistic regression was used to analyze.
Results: Blood deficiency pattern [odds ratio () = 2.269, 0.017] and stagnation pattern ( = 1.999, 0.041) are independently related to DN.
Conclusions: TCM factors blood deficiency pattern and stagnation pattern are relating to differential diagnosis of DN and NDRD.
