Research status on prevention and treatment of traditional Chinese medicine on focal segmental glomerulosclerosis / 中草药

ABSTRACT

Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is a common glomerular disease, and nephrotic syndrome is the main clinical manifestation. The prognosis of the kidney is mainly related to proteinuria severity, renal function, and drug response. The use of chemical drugs such as hormones and immunosuppressants is not effective in the treatment of some FSGS patients, and the side effects are obvious. In recent years, with the in-depth research on the treatment of FSGS by traditional Chinese medicine and the proof of clinical efficacy, traditional Chinese medicine has great advantages in delaying glomerular sclerosis and reducing the side effects of chemical drugs. The present situation of Chinese medicine treatment in FSGS is reviewed in this paper.
