Our study investigated whether Milk thistle improve renal performance in patients with type II diabetes mellitus nephropathy.Methods: In this clinical trial study, after ethics committee approval, 65 Patients with type II diabetes mellitus were enrolled into a randomized simple sampling, prospective, double-blinded study. In the case group, was gave Milk thistle and control group was given placebo. We measured urine albumin/cratinine (A/C) ratio and eGFR before and after intervention. The gathered data were analyzed by t and paired-t tests. P < 0.05 was regarded as significant level.Finding: The groups were well matched for age, sex, and duration of diabetes. The mean age was 55.9 ± 6.5 and 57.7 ± 7.7 years in case and control groups, respectively. There was not any significant difference between A/C ratio in case and control groups after intervention (P > 0.05); but in case group, after intervention A/C ratio was worse than before it (P < 0.05).Conclusion: The results suggest that Milk thistle did not improve the renal performance in patients with type II diabetes mellitus.
