This study aimed to analyze the therapeutic effect of Zicuiyin on diabetic kidney disease(DKD) and explore the possible targets of this formula. Eighteen DKD patients treated in the endocrine department or nephrology department of Second Affilia-ted Hospital of Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January to December in 2019 were enrolled and assigned into a test group(n=10) and a control group(n=8). Both groups received routine chemical medicine treatment. In addition, the test group was treated with Zicuiyin and the control group with Huangkui Capsules for 8 weeks. The clinical trial was approved by the Ethics Committee of Second Affiliated Hospital of Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, with the ethical approval No. 2017-023-01, and all the patients signed the informed consent form. The results showed that the 8-week treatment with Zicuiyin lowered the level of glycosylated hemoglobin(HbA1c) and recovered the 24 h urinary protein(24hUP), 24 h urinary microalbumin(24hmAlb), urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio(UACR), and estimated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR) of the patients with 24hUP<3.5 g. According to the different levels in 24hUP, all the patients were divided into two subgroups(subgroup A with 24hUP<3.5 g and subgroup B with 24hUP≥3.5 g). The ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry(UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS)-based non-targeted metabolomics analysis was conducted on the baseline serum samples from diffe-rent subgroups of patients. Nineteen biomarker candidates were identified to distinguish the metabolic differences between the two subgroups, and their correlations with clinical indicators were analyzed. Zicuiyin lowered the levels of phenylalanine, pseudouridine, and adenosine [fold change(FC)<0.5, P<0.05] in subgroup A. The results indicated that Zicuiyin was more effective on the DKD patients with low urinary protein levels, and its targets were involved in phenylalanine metabolism and nucleoside metabolism.
