Abstract:

Objective

To study the effect and mechanism of the treatment for reinforcing Kidney and activating blood circulation (RKAB) in treating chronic pyelonephritis.

Methods

Using RKAB combined with western drugs to treat 41 patients with chronic pyelonephritis and controlled with 30 patients treated with western drugs only. Changes of kidney morphology, renal function were observed, and the long-term efficacy of treatment was pursued.

Results

The short-term effective rate in the treated group and the control group was 90. 24% (37/41) and 86. 67% (26/30) respectively, with no significant difference between them (P>0. 05). The long-term effective rate in the two groups was 70.73% (29/41) and 30.00% (9/30) respectively with significant difference (P<0. 01). Moreover, the occurrence of morphological change of kidney and renal dysfunction in the treated group was later than that in the control group (P<0. 01).

Conclusion

RKAB treatment could raise the long-term effect in treating chronic pyelonephritis, alleviate/ block the morphological change of kidney and retard the progressing of renal dysfunction.
