Study of chronic renal failure treated with integrated traditio nal Chinese and western medicine

Objective It is to discuss the clinical curative eff ect of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine on chronic renal failure (CRF). Methods 60 patients with CRF were randomly divided into treatment group ( 35 cases) and control group (25 cases). The control group was treated with conventional wester n medicine. The treatment group was treated with TCM decoctions taken orally acc ording to TCM syndrome differentiation and type based on the therapy of the cont rol group. The therapeutic courses of the two groups were both three months. Results After treatment the blood urea nitrogen (BUN, (13.53±7.82) mmol/L) and serum creatinine rate (SCr, (398±35.15) μmol/L) in treatment group were significantly lower than those ((15.38±8.04) mmol/L, (425±44.18) μmol/L) in control group (P0.05). The endogenous creatinine rate (Ccr, (24.30±14.46)m L/min) wer e significantly hig herthan that ((22.84±13.85)mL/min) in control group. The to tal effective rate in treatment group was 90% and that in control group was 56.7%. The curative effect in treatment group was superior to that in control group (P0.05). Conclusion Integrated traditional Chin ese and western me dicine on CRF can lower BUN and SCr, raise Ccr. Its curative effect is superior to western medicine only.
