[Experimental study on kidney invigorating and lipid reducing decoction-yishen jiangzhi tang in the treatment of chronic renal failure].

In exploring the effect of treatment of supporting the body resistance on chronic renal failure, a chronic renal failure model of rat was created by gastroperfusion of adenine and evaluation was made on the therapeutic effect of Kidney Invigorating and Lipid Reducing Decoction (KILRD). The mental state and body weight of the treated group have recovered well with polyuria and proteinurea improving, BUN and Creatinine decreasing, which appeared to be superior to the naturally recovered group. Renal pathological examination showed that: although the renal parenchymal damage was not reversed but its compensation was satisfactory with compensatory hypertrophy appearing in unaffected nephron. The dominant reaction in the affected area was polynucleomacrocytosis, foreign body granulamatosis, and interstitial lymphocytic infiltration, the fibrosis was inevident, while the above-mentioned condition in the naturally recovered group was relatively more serious, with fibrosis being observed. It was indicated that KILRD could increase the compensatory capacity and immunity, promote protein synthetization and improve renal function. The study on KILRD proved to be a significant conservative medical treatment for chronic renal failure.
