Chinese medicine treatment of kidney failure currently recognized are:
1, rhubarb: to reduce serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen levels, improve lipid metabolism, inhibition of renal tubular epithelial cells hypertrophy and hyperplasia, decreased cell metabolism and high glomerular filtration state, and can inhibit renal compensatory hypertrophy, glomerulosclerosis, reducing residual renal high metabolic state, delaying the progression of chronic renal failure, the clinical effect is obvious, more than the current international esteem of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI).
2, Cordyceps: to reduce BUN and SCr levels and increase the plasma protein content, improve anemia and nutritional status, and promote renal tubular epithelial cell repair and regeneration, correct amino acid, protein and lipid metabolism, regulate cellular immunity, enhance immune force, protection and recovery of renal function, prevention of secondary infection.
3, Salvia: can significantly reduce BUN and SCr content, increased SCr, BUN clearance and filtration capacity, improve survival, improve renal blood flow, reducing kidney damage.
4. Astragalus: can significantly improve cellular and humoral immune function, increase body resistance phagocytosis and reticuloendothelial system, and improve the rate of protein synthesis, reduce SCr levels and free radicals, and can increase the clearance of free radicals, to improve kidney function.
5, Hook: with corticosteroids similar, but without the side effects of hormones, estrogen and progestin characteristics totally different roles, cyclosporine and other immunosuppressive effect by inducing apoptosis of T cells, and inhibition of cell cycle control IL2 is achieved, do not block the T cell receptor (TCR) transmission of information, it is a new class of immunosuppressive drugs.
6, Chuanxiong and leech: to improve blood 6 keto prostaglandin F1α content, correct prostacyclin / thromboxane A2 imbalance, so Hemorrheology and hypercoagulable state improved, increased renal blood flow, improve creatinine clearance, lower BUN , the renal function was restored.
7, compound: contain these drugs, tricks, not described in detail. Compared with western medicine side effects, and can repair damaged renal unit, gradual recovery of renal function, treatment of renal failure have a good effect.
