The invention relates to resistant starch, a recombination method and application of the resistant starch in nephropathy treatment, the resistant starch comprises oat, brown rice, raw potatoes, black beans, red beans, mung beans and retrogradation starch, the resistant starch is recombined by adopting extrusion puffing, microwave-enzyme synergistic recombination and pressure heating-freezing and thawing cycle recombination methods, and the resistant starch can be applied to prevention and / or treatment of diabetic nephropathy. And the recombinant resistant starch is not digested in small intestines and is fermented by intestinal flora to generate SCFA (Small Form Fatty Acid) such as butyric acid and propionic acid after reaching colon, so that the proliferation of bifidobacteria and lactic acid bacteria is promoted, and urease-producing bacteria are inhibited. The resistant starch can reduce generation of intestinal uremia toxins in vivo, reduce the situation that the intestinal uremia toxins enter blood circulation through intestinal-renal axes, and relieve oxidative stress and fibrosis of renal tubules. The SCFA promotes the secretion of GLP-1, improves the insulin sensitivity and reduces the damage of hyperglycemia to the kidney.
