Conditions

Chronic Renal Failure, Hemodialysis

Brief summary

To explore the clinical effect of Shenkang Decoction in chronic renal failure (CRF) patients with hemodialysis (HD).

Interventions

DRUGShenkang decoction

Given Shenkang decoction on the basis of the above treatment. Shenkang decoction prescription: 15 g of semen cuscutae, herba epimedii and pericarpium arecae. 20 g of Eucommia ulmoides Oliv., radix astragali, codonopsis pilosula, salvia miltiorrhiza, tuckahoe, atractylodes macrocephala, Chinese yam, honeysuckle, polyporus umbellatus and dandelion. 15 g of safflower. 12 g of processed Fuzi. 10 g of Radix phytolaccae and sage. Golden cherry son 20 g and puzzle kernel 15 g were added to patients with frequent proteinuria and nocturia took. Yellow cypress 15 g was added to patients with damp-heat in lower-Jiao. The decoction pieces were purchased from the Traditional Chinese Medicine and Pharmacy Department of the First People's Hospital of Zunyi City. They were decocted by computer automatic decocting machine (model) and divided into 150 mL / bag, taken orally, once in the morning, noon and evening, 3 times / day, 1 bag / time, one pair a day. Treatment lasted for 10 - 14 days.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Renal function index8 minThe AU5800 fully automatic biochemical analyzer produced by Beckman Coulter Co., Ltd. was selected for renal function index determination. peripheral venous blood (3-5 mL) was extracted before and after treatment, and Cre and urea nitrogen were measured after centrifugation
TCM syndrome points14 daysAccording to the relevant contents of the Clinical Guiding Principles of New Chinese Medicine13, clinical symptoms of shortness of breath, fatigue, anorexia, chills, abdominal fullness and distension, unsolid stool, and weak waist were evaluated.
Nutritional status index14daysIn patients, 3 mL of fasting venous blood was collected and given anticoagulant treatment. The total serum protein, serum albumin, hemoglobin, and total red blood cells were measured by Mindray automatic biochemical analyzer (model BS-280, Shenzhen Mindray Bio-Medical Electronics Co., LTD.).
Dialysis adequacy judgment index14 daysThe urea dynamic model was used to evaluate the overall urea clearance judgment of a single dialysis effect, and Kt / V was calculated according to the Daugirdas formula. Kt / V= -ln (BUN before dialysis / BUN after dialysis-0.008 t) + (4-3.5 BUN before dialysis /BUN after dialysis) ultrafiltration volume / dialysis body weight. Long-term dialysis components are protein catabolism rate (calculated by Gotch formula) and time-average urea concentration (calculated by Lowrie formula). Protein catabolism rate = 9.35G×0.29Vt.
Treatment efficiency14 daysThe efficacy of the two groups was compared with the TCM syndrome points and the biochemical examination indexes.
General physical examination14 daysIncluding heart rate, blood pressure, breathing, pulse, and urine volume. Urine routine, blood routine, stool routine, liver and kidney function testing, and electrocardiogram monitoring.
