Diabetic nephropathy(DN)is one of the major microvascular complications of diabetes, and its pathogenesis is complex, involving apoptosis of renal tissue cells induced by hyperglycemic environment, abnormal activation of related enzymes, inflammation and oxidative stress, non-enzymatic glycosylation of proteins, abnormal deposition of extracellular matrix and abnormal lipid metabolism. Baicalin, a flavonoid compound extracted and isolated from the root of the traditional Chinese medicinal herb Huangqin(Scutellariae Radix), possesses a wide range of pharmacological effects. In recent years, with the continuous exploration of new applications for traditional Chinese medicine, baicalin has been found to have apreventive and therapeutic effect on DN. Therefore, this article summarized and reviewed the research progress in the mechanism of baicalin preventing and treating DN in recent years, aiming to provide a theoretical basis and foundation for further research on the prevention and treatment of DN with baicalin in the future.
