Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is one of the common microvascular complications of diabetes mellitus (DM), and also one of the main causes of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage renal disease (ESRD). In recent years, traditional Chinese medicine has played an important role in the treatment and prevention of DKD. Based on the theory of “treating Qi first for treating water”, the author explored the main mechanism of the holy medicine Huangqi (Astragali Radix) and its active ingre-dients in the treatment of DKD. Studies have shown that Huangqi (Astragali Radix) and its active ingredients, such as total Astragalus flavones (TFA), calycosin, Astragaloside Ⅳ (AS-Ⅳ) and Astragalus polysaccharide (APS), can be prevented by improving insulin resistance, inhibiting oxidative stress, anti-inflammation, delaying renal fibrosis, anti-apoptosis, inhibiting iron death, regulating autophagy, regulating intestinal flora and so on to treat DKD, in order to provide new drug ideas and methods for TCM treatment of DKD.
