Abstract:Objective To observe the effect of resolving turbidity and removing toxicity comprehensive treatment on patients with stage 2-3 of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Methods A total of 160 patients with stage 2-3 of CKD in Nephrology Outpatient and Ward Department of Hebei Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine were selected from October 2017 to March 2019. Stratified by age, the patients were randomly divided into two groups, 78 cases in the treatment group and 82 cases in the control group. The treatment group was treated with resolving turbidity and removing toxicity comprehensive treatment plan, and the control group was treated with Niaoduqing Granules orally. Three months was a course of treatment. The overall efficacy, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome score, renal function index (blood creatinine [Scr], blood urea nitrogen [BUN], uric acid [UA]), hemoglobin (HGB) and serum transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) levels before and after treatment were observed. Results The total effective rate in the treatment group was higher than that in the control group. After treatment, the TCM symptom score, Scr, BUN, and TGF-β1 levels were reduced in both groups, and the TCM symptom score, Scr, BUN, UA, and TGF-β1 levels in the treatment group were lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05). After treatment, the HGB level was reduced in both groups, and the treatment group was higher than that in the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion Resolving turbidity and removing toxicity comprehensive treatment can regulate cytokines and effectively delay the progression of CKD.
