Research Progress of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Treatment of Hyperkalemia in Chronic Kidney Disease
In recent years,more and more attention has been paid to the role of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)in improving the condition of patients with hyperkalemia of chronic kidney disease(CKD).Combined with the relevant studies at home and abroad on TCM and hyperkalemia of CKD,TCM theory about hyperkalemia of CKD was sorted out.Combined with the physiological mechanism of hyperkalemia in patients with CKD and the modern pharmacological research of TCM,this paper discussed the mechanism of common Chinese medicinals in the treatment of CKD influencing potassium metabolism,summarized the specific Chinese medicinals that might be applied and should be avoided in patients with hyperkalemia of CKD.It was proposed that patients with hyperkalemia of CKD could continue to use Chinese medicinals with low potassium content that slowed the deterioration of renal function,which provided a direction for the future research of TCM in the treatment of hyperkalemia of CKD.There were 54 references in total.
