Clinical Research Progress in TCM Treatment for Chronic Glomerulonephritis / 中国中医药信息杂志

ABSTRACT

Traditional Chinese medicine has advantages in treating chronic glomerulonephritis. According to the articles in recent years, the therapeutic methods of TCM include not only syndrome differentiation, but also symptomatic treatment, modification of the chief prescriptions, Chinese traditional patent medicine, single Chinese herb, and combined internal and external treatment, which all have achieved some remarkable effects. However, the majority of articles were about personal experience and clinical observation which lack experimental study on the therapeutic mechanism. Therefore, the results of relative researches should be under objective evaluation. A large number of experimental researches on the therapeutic mechanism and standardized clinical observation need to be carried out in the future.
