To investigate the clinical features and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndromes of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) complicated with hyperuricemia. Methods:A total of 142 patients with T2DM who were hospitalized in endocrinology department of Dongfang Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine from June 2013 to June 2015 were divided into high uric acid group (69 cases) and normal urinary acid group (73 cases) according to the level of uric acid. And then the clinical characteristics and TCM syndromes of the 2 groups were compared and analyzed. Results:The drinking proportion, body measure index (BMI), diastolic blood pressure, lipid metabolism, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), urinary albumin excretion rate (UAE), creatinine, combined with coronary heart disease, lower extremity vascular lesions, fatty liver, urinary stones and concurrent nephropathy, retinopathy etc. in high uric acid group were higher than uric acid normal group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05); The main symptoms of qi and yin deficiency, yin-deficiency and fire-hyperactivity syndrome, heat in liver and stomach syndrome, phlegm, blood stasis, turbidity and the proportion of the composition ratio increased, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion:Complications of the patient with T2DM complicated with hyperuricemia are serious. The main features of TCM syndrome are qi and yin deficiency, yin-deficiency and fire-hyperactivity syndrome, heat in liver and stomach syndrome, with phlegm, blood stasis and turbidity.
