To explore the clinical effect of Shenkang Decoction in chronic renal failure (CRF) patients with hemodialysis (HD). From November 2020 to December 2021, a total of 160 patients with CRF, who received HD, were included as the research objects, and they were divided into a reference group and a treatment group by random number table method (80 cases in each group). The former group was given basic drug treatment, and the latter group was given Shenkang decoction treatment at the same time as basic drug treatment. The renal function indexes, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) syndrome scores, nutritional status, dialysis adequacy, treatment efficiency, and adverse reactions, were compared between the two groups. After treatment, the patients in the treatment group had lower levels of creatinine and blood urea nitrogen, lower TCM syndrome scores, and higher levels of various nutritional status indicators than the reference group (p < 0.05). After treatment, the effective rate of the treatment group was higher compared with the reference group (p < 0.05). There was no significant difference between the two groups of dialysis adequacy index (p > 0.05). No adverse reaction was found in the two groups of patients in routine urine, blood, stool, liver, and kidney function tests, and electrocardiogram monitoring. Shenkang decoction applied to CRF and HD patients can significantly improve clinical symptoms and renal function, maintain a good nutritional status and little impact on dialysis adequacy, and improve life quality with significant curative effect, high safety, and little adverse reactions.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007676 Kidney Failure, Chronic The end-stage of CHRONIC RENAL INSUFFICIENCY. It is characterized by the severe irreversible kidney damage (as measured by the level of PROTEINURIA) and the reduction in GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE to less than 15 ml per min (Kidney Foundation: Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative, 2002). These patients generally require HEMODIALYSIS or KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION.

D001806 Blood Urea Nitrogen The urea concentration of the blood stated in terms of nitrogen content. Serum (plasma) urea nitrogen is approximately 12% higher than blood urea nitrogen concentration because of the greater protein content of red blood cells. Increases in blood or serum urea nitrogen are referred to as azotemia and may have prerenal, renal, or postrenal causes.

D051436 Renal Insufficiency, Chronic Conditions in which the KIDNEYS perform below the normal level for more than three months. Chronic kidney insufficiency is classified by five stages according to the decline in GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE and the degree of kidney damage (as measured by the level of PROTEINURIA). The most severe form is the end-stage renal disease (CHRONIC KIDNEY FAILURE).
