Title: [Observation of therapy of integrated TCM-WM on repeatedly relapsed primary nephrotic syndrome in adults]. Author: Ye RG, Ren GH, Li HQ. Journal: Zhongguo Zhong Xi Yi Jie He Za Zhi; 1995 Jan; 15(1):15-7. PubMed ID: 7767058. Abstract: The therapy of integrated traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine (TCM-WM) on repeatedly relapsed primary nephrotic syndrome (PNS) was observed. There were 30 and 32 cases in the WM group and TCM-WM group respectively. The results showed that in WM group the recurrence rate was 11.8%, 23.5%, 35.3% at 6,12,47 months after the PNS was remitted, while in TCM-WM group, it was 0, 3.3%, 13.3% respectively. The mean remission period was 12.4 +/- 3.2 months and 35.9 +/- 3.7 months in WM group and TCM-WM group respectively. The recurrence rate in TCM-WM group at various time was significantly lower than that in WM group (P < 0.01). The mean remission period in TCM-WM group was also significantly longer than that in WM group (P < 0.01). This indicated that the therapy of TCM-WM on repeatedly relapsed PNS is superior than that of WM alone.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
