Chinese medicine treatment of chronic renal failure

Chronic renal failure is a clinic syndome mainly shows a variety of metabolites and toxic retention, clinical water, electrolyte and acid-base balance disorders and endocrine dysfunction when the chronic kidney disease is in the end stage.It is the final destination of kidney disease and kidney related diseases.

In , there are many similar discussions about the relationship between the Chinese medicine obstruction and rejection, Bilong and the acute renal failure and chronic renal failure. Now the view of chronic renal failure machine, we have basically made a consensus that it is the differentiation of diseases throughout the chronic renal failure. Weakened body resistance include yin, yang, qi, and blood, viscera asthenic disease, the main is spleen and kidney deficiency, and the pathogenic factors include water wet, damp heat, blood stasis and so on.

Clinical trials have shown that rhubarb has been recognized for delaying renal failure. Rhubarb can reduce glomerular high perfusion, high filtration, reduce renal tubular highmetabolism, inhibit mesangial cell proliferation and proliferation of fibroblasts, specifically reduce blood lipids and urea nitrogen, promote protein synthesis and so on.
