For friends with nephrotic syndrome, maintenance during the illness is very important. Not only should we supplement our diet, but more importantly, we should exercise more to benefit our physical and mental health and avoid complications. Friends of nephrotic syndrome patients can consume more nourishing foods such as red dates, black bone chickens, and goji berries during the illness period, avoiding contact with cold water to avoid adverse consequences.
Forty children with nephrotic syndrome were treated with Jianshen Tang (Huangqi, Danshen, Xianmao, Leech, etc.), while the control group of 40 cases was treated with Western medicine alone. The total effective rates of the two groups were 100% and 60%. It was observed that during the use of Western medicine, there was a tendency for dampness and heat accumulation as well as blood stasis. Therefore, Qingshi Huayu Tang was used in combination with treatment to treat 70 children with refractory nephrotic syndrome, with a total effective rate of 82.9%, including Anemarrhena asphodeloides, Rehmannia glutinosa, Banzhilian, Leonurus heterophyllus, Huangbai, Ophiopogon japonicus, Salvia miltiorrhiza, safflower, Chuanxiong, Danpi, and licorice. The main prescription is Shenqi Dihuang Tang, which is used for medicinal purposes such as Codonopsis pilosula, Astragalus membranaceus, Chinese yam, Cornus officinalis, raw ground, cooked ground, Poria cocos, Atractylodes macrocephala, Danpi, Alisma orientalis, Motherwort, and Baimao root. 53 cases of pediatric patients were treated with hormone therapy, with a total effective rate of 92%. 44 children with refractory kidney disease were treated with a combination of traditional Chinese medicine and pulse therapy. The drugs used were Radix Pseudostellariae, Poria cocos, Poria cocos, Stir fried Atractylodes macrocephala, Astragalus membranaceus, Huangjing, tangerine peel, Stir fried white peony, Fengwei grass, Cornus officinalis, malt, lychee grass, and raw licorice. The incidence of side effects between the two groups was significantly different compared to 71 children who received simple cyclophosphamide treatment.
Self formulated Bushen Huayu Tang (composed of herbs such as Epimedium, Astragalus membranaceus, Codonopsis pilosula, Poria cocos, Atractylodes macrocephala, Motherwort, Hedyotis diffusa, Radix et Rhizoma Rhei, etc.) combined with interferon and thymosin was used to treat 50 children with RNS, with an effective rate of 96%. Self formulated Yiqi Zishen Huoxue Tang (Radix Astragali, Radix Pseudostellariae, Radix Salviae Miltiorrhizae, Herba Leonuri, Fructus Cuscutae, Cortex Salviae, Herba Eclipta, Radix Astragali, Poria cocos, Rhizoma Alisma, Angelica Sinensis, and Hedyotis diffusa) was used as an auxiliary treatment for 45 children with RNS, and compared with 30 cases in the Western medicine control group, the treatment effect showed significant differences. From the above, it can be seen that supplementing qi and promoting blood circulation are recognized as the treatment methods for nephrotic syndrome that should run through the entire process, indicating the importance of regulating lipid metabolism and hypercoagulability in Western medicine treatment.
