Abstract

We investigate the correlation between the patterns of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndromes and the damage of renal function, immunologic function index, and blood coagulation index in patients with Henoch-Schönlein purpura nephritis (HSPN) and thus provide the therapeutic effects of Chinese herbs decoction on HSPN. We studied 262 hospitalized patients diagnosed with HSPN between 1 February 2016 and 1 January 2017. Indexes like renal function, immunologic function, and blood coagulation were measured. The patients were classified into four different patterns of TCM symptoms. In a total of 262 patients with HSPN, dampness-heat accumulation accounted for 59.5%, which is the highest proportion of TCM symptom patterns, liver-kidney yin deficiency accounted for 17.6%, qi and yin deficiency ratio reached 12.6%, and blood-heat bleeding accounted for 9.9%. 24-hour proteinuria was heavier in the dampness-heat accumulation patients who had immune disorders and were in hypercoagulative state and hyperfibrinolysis conditions. We analyzed and summarized the clinical characteristics of patients with HSPN and found that dampness-heat accumulation was dominant in patients and was always accompanied by immune disorders and coagulation d...Continue Reading
