Mechanism of Paidu Baoshen(排毒保肾)Pills in Treatment of Chronic Kindey Disease Based on Intestinal Toxins
Objective:To investigate the effect and significance of Paidu Baoshen(排毒保肾)Pills in patients with CKD based on intestinal endo-toxins.Methods:Patients with CKD in the Department of nephrology,Jiujiang Hospital of Chinese Medicine from March 2020 to July 2021 were randomly assigned to the control group and treatment group,with 30 cases in each group.On the basis of routine treatment,the control group was given Niaodu Qing(尿毒清)granules and the treatment group was given Paidu Baoshen pills,for 16 weeks.Before and after treat-ment,urea nitrogen,creatinine,uric acid(UC),cystatin C(Cys C),carbon dioxide binding capacity(CO2CP),triglyceride(TG),total cho-lesterol(TC),serum albumin(ALB),indole sulfate(IS),p-cresol sulfate(PCS),C-reactive protein(CRP),interleukin-6(IL-6),tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),urinary microalbumin(U-mAlb),and 24-hour urinary protein(UTP)were determined and compared.The tradi-tional Chinese medicine syndrome score was evaluated.Liver function and blood potassium were measured to evaluate its safety.Results:Compared with before treatment,the urea nitrogen,blood creatinine,uric acid,ALB,TC,TG,IS,PCS,CRP,IL-6,TNF-α,u-mALB and UTP were significantly decreased in the treatment group and control group(P<0.05),sIgA in the treatment group was significantly increased(P<0.05).Compared with baseline,The TCM syndrome score of the treatment group and the control group was significantly decreased(P<0.05).After treatment,compared with the control group,the urea nitrogen,blood creatinine,uric acid,ALB,TC,TG,IS,PCS,CRP,IL-6,TNF-α,U-mALB and UTP in the treatment group was significantly decreased(P<0.05 or P<0.01),while the sIgA in the treatment group was sig-nificantly increased(P<0.01),and the TCM score showed more significant improvement(P<0.05).Conclusion:Paidu Baoshen pills have good clinical efficacy in the treatment of CKD,which may play a therapeutic role by reducing intestinal metabolic toxins and other parts.
