ABSTRACT

Objective To observe the effect of the therapeutics of warming Yang and inducing diuresis with removing blood stasis and clearing away turbidness in retarding the course of chronic renal failure (CRF). Methods Sixty-five patients with CRF were randomly divided into the treated group (33 cases) and the control group (32 cases). Both groups were treated with low-protein diets,controlling hypertension and symptomatic treatment. And Chinese drugs for warming Yang and inducing diuresis with removing blood stasis and clearing away turbidness were given additionally to the treated group. The time (month) for doubling serum creatinine (SCr) level was taken to evaluate the speed of CRF progression. Results In the treated group,the time for SCr increased from (300.5?99.2) ?mol/L to (602.0?199.6) ?mol/L was (27.6?9.1) months,while in the control group,the time for SCr increased from (296.3?96.8) ?mol/L to (598.8?198.4) ?mol/L was (17.2?5.7) months. Comparision between the tow groups showed significant difference (P
