Effects of Drugs for Strengthening -Spleen Tonifying - Kidney on Cellular Immunity in Hemodialysis for Chronic Renal Failure[J]. Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine1999, (1): 27-28.DOI: 10.13288/j.11-2166/r.1999.01.020.
Forty cases of chronic renal failure (CRF) receiving hemodialysis were treated by drugs for strengthening- spleen tonifying - kidney (SSTK) and observation on frequency of infection and changes in IL - 2 and T- lymphocy subgroup were made with the following results: for the treatment group
the frequency of infection per patient during the 6 - month period of treatment was 1. 7
that of the control group
4. 6
the difference being significant (P<0. 01). After 6 months of therapy
the IL - 2. T3
T4
T4/T8 were markedly increased as compared with that before treatment and with markedly significant difference as compared with the control group (P<0. 01
P<0. 05)
indicating the SSTK yields the actions of strengthening the immunity and decreasing the incidence of infection in such patient.
