Objective:To observe clinical therapeutic effects of the method of tonifying the kidney
removing dampness and activating blood circulation on focal and segmental glomerular sclerosis(FSGS)and IgA nephropathy(IgAN).Methods:64 out-patients were diagnosed as FSGS(n=30)and IgAN(n=34)by renal biopsy.The effects of the combined therapy on 24-hour urinary total protein(UTP)and Serum creatinine(SCr)were investigated.Results:The effective rate after treatment of 6 months and 12 months was 80.0% and 83.3% in FSGS group and 82.4% and 85.3% in IgAN group
respectively
with no significant difference between the two groups.The level of UTP decreased significantly after 3 months’treatment in IgAN group(P<0.05)
while it reduced after 15 months’treatment in FSGS group(P<0.05)
with no significant difference in the level of UTP between the two groups(P>0.05).SCr level reduced significantly after 6 months’treatment in both groups(P<0.05)
with no significant difference between the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusion:The combined method of tonifying the kidney
removing dampness and activating blond circulation can improve symptoms and signs
