Objective:
To search for the best method for increasing clinical therapeutic effect on nephrotic syndrome.
Methods:
Forty-one cases were randomly divided into 2 groups. The treatment group (n=22) were treated with acupoint-injection of Chinese medicine combined with prednisone, and the control group (n=19) with prednisone. Their therapeutic results were observed and compared.
Results:
The complete remission rate of 45.5% and the total effective rate of 86.4% in the treatment group were significantly higher than 31.6% and 63.2% in the control group, with a significant difference between the two groups in the total effective rate (P < 0.05); in the treatment group, blood lipids decreased, plasma proteins raised and immunologic function improved.
Conclusion:
Acupoint-injection of Chinese medicine combined with prednisone can significantly increase therapeutic effect on nephrotic syndrome and strengthen immunologic function.
