Objective To explore the impact of asymptomatic hyperuricemia on renal function of early type 2 diabetic nephropathy and the regularity of traditional Chinese syndrome distribution. Methods 97 cases of early type 2 diabetic nephropathic patients were evaluated and divided into two groups： Hyperuriemia （HUA） group and normal （NUA） group， depending on the level of serum uric acid （SUA）. Urine β2-Microglobulin （β2-MG）， Microalbuminuria（MAU）， Serum creatinine（Cr）， Blood urea nitrogen （BUN）， Urine N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase（NAG） were assessed to study the differences between the two groups. Results β2-MG and MAU of HUA group are higher than NUA group（P<0.01）； Cr， Bun and NAG of HUA group are higher than NUA group within the normal range， but only the difference of Cr is stastistically significant（P<0.01）. SUA correlates positively with Cr（r=0. 468）， MAU（r= 0. 471）， urine β2-MG（r=0. 286） and the correlation indexs（r） have statistical significance（P<0.01）. However， there is no significant correlation between SUA and BUN， NAG. In terms of Traditional Chinese Medicine， the percentage of Qi and Yin deficiency syndrome（50.52%） is largest among primary syndromes， and the dampness syndrome leads in the accompanied syndromes. Besides， the differences of traditional Chinese syndrome distribution between two groups are statistically significant（P<0.05）. Conclusion Hyperuricemia damages the renal function of early type 2 diabetic nephropathic patients and it is a relatively risk factor of renal function impairment. Hyperuricimia impacts the traditional Chinese syndrome distribution. Compared with NUA group， the percentage of deficiency of spleen and kidney syndrome of primary syndrome and phlegm-stasis syndrome of accompanied syndrome are higher， which can provide clues to the traditional Chinese medical diagnosis and treatment of diabetic nephropathy.
