    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To explore the effects of dialysate contained Chinese herbs for replenishing qi and activating blood circulation on platelet membranous glycoprotein CD62P in patients with chronic renal failure (CRF) undergoing hemodialysis. METHODS: Forty patients underwent maintaining hemodialysis were randomly assigned to two groups, the Western medicated group (WMG) and the Chinese herbs group (CHG). The content of CD62P in all patients was detected by ELISA before and after hemodialysis. RESULTS: The levels of blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, potassium, hematocrit, platelet count and carbon dioxide combining power (CO2CP) as well as the expression of CD62P after treatment were significantly changed in both groups with significant difference as compared with those before treatment (both P < 0.05). And comparison between the two groups in expression of CD62P after treatment also showed significant difference (P < 0.05). But the improvement in TCM syndrome between the two groups was insignificantly different (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION: Hemodialysis with dialysate containing Chinese herbs of replenishing qi and activating blood circulation can decrease the expression of platelet membranous glycoprotein CD62P, which may be associated with the mechanism of Chinese herbs in treating CRF.
