To explore the effects of Fangji Huangqi Decoction on renal function, serum β2 microglobulin, coagulation index and expression of inflammatory factors in patients with refractory edema of nephrotic syndrome(NS).Methods:A total of 110 patients with NS intractable edema who met the inclusion criteria were enrolled in Shanghai Baoshan District Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine from January 2016 to January 2019.They were randomly divided into a control group(55 cases)and an observation group(55 cases).The control group was treated with routine western medicine, while the observation group was treated with Fangji Huangqi Decoction for 1 month.The changes of renal function, beta 2 microglobulin, coagulation index, inflammatory factors and blood lipid were observed and compared before and after treatment in the 2 groups.And the changes of adverse reactions of the 2 groups were compared.Results:After treatment, 24-hour urinary protein(24 h U-pro), urea nitrogen(BUN), serum creatinine(Scr)in both groups decreased significantly, while albumin(Alb)increased significantly(P<0.05).After treatment, 24 h U-pro, BUN and Scr in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group, and Alb was significantly higher than those in the control group(P<0.05).2)After treatment, the prothrombin time(PT), activated partial prothrombin time(APTT)and prostaglandin I2 in the 2 groups were significantly increased than those before treatment, while thromboxane A2 and platelet were significantly decreased than those before treatment(P<0.05).After treatment, PT, APTT and prostaglandin I2 in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group, and the rest were significantly lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).3)After treatment, the levels of interleukin-1β(IL-1β), tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), IL-6 and IL-17 in the 2 groups were significantly decreased than those before treatment(P<0.05), and the above indexes in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).4)After treatment, serum β2 microglobulin, urinary β2 microglobulin, triglyceride(TG), total cholesterol(TC), low density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C)of the 2 groups were significantly decreased than before treatment(P<0.05).After treatment, the above indexes of the observation group were significantly lower than those of the control group(P<0.05).5)The incidence of gastrointestinal reactions, muscle spasm, dizziness and electrolyte disturbance in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group after treatment, and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion:Modified Fangji Huangqi Decoction can improve renal function, inhibit β2 microglobulin, improve coagulation index and inflammatory factors, reduce blood lipid level in patients with NS refractory edema, and has high safety. |
