Brief summary
Chronic renal failure is a chronic and progressive disease with a poor prognosis. In recent years, it can be found in many literature reports that traditional Chinese medicine therapy has obvious effects on early and mid-term chronic renal failure. It can not only improve clinical symptoms, but also block or delay the process of renal failure. It is relatively rare that compounds such as compounds. The side effects of drugs may be used in combination with compound drugs to improve clinical side effects and help patients improve their quality of life to complete the treatment course. It can provide clinicians with another choice in treatment. A previous study confirmed that the use of Eefooton oral solution of Chinese herbal medicine concentrate has a significant protective effect on the kidneys that have not undergone hemodialysis. Eefooton is extracted from Rhodiola, Huang Qi, American Ginseng, Dang Ginseng, and Ligustrum lucidum by biotechnology. It has immunomodulatory effects, anti-oxidation and anti-inflammatory effects, and regulates calcium metabolism. The purpose of this clinical observation and research is to evaluate the eGFR changes in the renal function of patients with chronic kidney disease with the combination of Eefooton oral solution and commonly used chemical drugs.
Detailed description
The Blood test items consisted Blood urea nitrogen (BUN), Serum creatinine (SCr), estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), serum Uric acid, plasma Albumin (ALB), Hemoglobin (Hb), Alkaline phosphatase (ALP), Serum Glutamic-Oxalocetic Transaminase (SGOT), Serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT), Glucose(AC), Serum sodium, Serum potassium, Corrected calcium , Phosphorus (Blood). Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), Triglyceride (TG), Total cholesterol (Chol), High-density lipoprotein (HDL), Low-density lipoprotein (LDL). During the entire research process did not change diet, lifestyle, habits and the use of drugs.
