Curative effect observation of combination of meridian-pricking therapy and traditional Chinese medicine on mesangial proliferation Henoch-Schonlein purpura nephritis

Objective To observe the effect of combination of meridian-pricking therapy and traditional Chinese medicine on mesangial proliferation Henoch-Schonlein purpura nephritis.Methods 78 patients with mesangial proliferation Henoch-Schonlein purpura nephritis were randomly divided into two groups.Patients in control group (n=39) were treated by Chlorphenamine and Prednisone.Patients in treatment group were treated by combination of meridian-pricking therapy and Tuomin Qingluoyin.The changes of 24 h urinary protein and erythrocyte in urinary sediment were observed.Results The level of 24 h urinary protein after treatment was decreased in two groups (P0.05).There was no difference between two groups on the level of 24h urinary protein after treatment (P0.05).The level of erythrocyte in urinary sediment was decreased after treatment in treatment group (P0.05).There was difference between two groups on the level of erythrocyte in urinary sediment after treatment (P0.05).The score of traditional Chinese medicine syndrome in treatment group was lower than that in control group after treatment (P0.05).Conclusion Combination of meridian-pricking therapy and traditional Chinese medicine can decrease the level of 24 h urinary protein,erythrocyte in urinary sediment and score of traditional Chinese medicine syndrome.
