ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To observe the effect of compound shenhua tablet (CST) on the residual kidney expressed macrophage migration inhibition factor (MIF) in rats.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>CST was used to treat 5/6 nephrectomized rats for 12 weeks and the conditions of blood pressure, urinary protein, blood biochemical indices (creatinine, blood urea nitrogen), kidney pathologic change and MIF expression were observed.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>CST could significantly lower the serum levels of creatinine (P < 0.05), and 24 hrs urinary protein (P < 0.01), reduce the MIF expression and macrophage infiltration in renal glomerulus and tubular mesenchym, and lower the degree of renal glomerular sclerosis and interstitial fibrosis.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The inhibition on the highly expressed MIF may be an important mechanism of the drug in restraining chronic inflammation in residual kidney, delaying the sclerosis and fibrosis progression and protecting renal function.</p>
