Abstract: | Objective:To study the association of syndrome types of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) with the distribution of biochemistry, blood cell analysis, blood pressure, the size of pancreas and kidney in 108 cases of diabetes with or without complications. Method: Diabetic patients were diagnosed as different syndrome types according to TCM differentiation. The indexes of biochemistry, electrolyte, blood cell and so on were examined by full auto biochemistry analysis, electrolyte analysis and blood cell analysis. Result: In patients with deficiency of Qi and Yin as well as deficiency of Yin and Yang, albumin, plasma total protein, calcium, red cell number, hematocrit (HCT) and mean corpuscular volume (MCV) were decreased compared to those of normal control group.Blood glucose, mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) were increased compared with those of normal control group. Conclusion: The metabolism of protein, fat, glucose is disorder, and blood pressure, blood cells, the size of pancreas and kidney are changed in diabetic patients with deficiency of both Yin and Yang, those are helpful to TCM differentiation. |
