A Case of Toxemia of Pregnancy Treated with Kampo Formula Syakuyaku-kanzou-tou for Plausible Inhibition of Autoimmune Antibody / 日本東洋医学雑誌

ABSTRACT

This case study involved a 30-year-old G3P2 patient. In the previous two pregnancies, she experienced toxemia of pregnancy with intrauterine growth retardation. Autoantibodies were found to be positive in these two pregnancies. In her third pregnancy, Shakuyakukanzou-tou with low doses of aspirin were administered. Her autoantibody continued to be negative. Toxemia was not noted and fetus growth was adequate for her date. This data suggests that Shakuyaku-kanzou-tou may be effective for autoimmune pregnant disorders involving intrauterine growth retardation.
