Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the field of traditional Chinese medicine preparations, and relates to a quality detection method of a kidney-yi and wind-qi traditional Chinese medicine compound composition. BACKGROUND
[0002] The prevalence rate of adult chronic nephritis in China is about 10%, most of chronic nephritis has insidious onset, prolonged and repeated illness, and can be accompanied by different degrees of renal function decline, and even gradually progresses to chronic renal failure. Early patients can have no obvious symptoms, which is easy to be ignored. The basic clinical manifestations are proteinuria, hematuria, hypertension and edema, among which proteinuria can not only damage the glomerular filtration membrane and renal tubular cells, but also promote glomerular sclerosis and tubulointerstitial fibrosis, which is an independent risk factor for renal function deterioration and disease progression to end-stage renal disease. Therefore, the treatment of reducing proteinuria is very important, which is related to the prognosis of patients with chronic nephritis.
[0003] At present, there is no specific treatment for proteinuria in chronic nephritis and nephrotic syndrome in western medicine. The research mainly focuses on reducing urinary protein and blood pressure control, and the measures to control proteinuria mainly include ACEI and ARB drugs. In clinical practice, glucocorticoids, cytotoxic drugs and immunosuppressive agents also have significant effects, but some patients are not sensitive, long-term use brings side effects, easy to repeat after reducing or stopping the drug, and expensive. In view of the fact that traditional Chinese medicine has exact curative effect in the treatment of chronic nephritis, and plays a role in synergistic effect and reducing toxicity when combined with hormones or immunosuppressive agents, it is highly praised and trusted by the majority of patients. At present, the traditional Chinese medicines for reducing proteinuria on the market include Bailin capsules, Ziling mycosporine (main component is artificially cultured Cordyceps sinensis), Huangkui capsules (main component is Abelmoschus manihot flower), etc. These traditional Chinese medicines have relatively single components, and cannot take into account the complex and refractory proteinuria. Therefore, there is an urgent need in clinical practice to develop a kind of traditional Chinese medicine preparation which is efficient and convenient for patients with chronic nephritis, and to bring greater benefits to the majority of patients with kidney disease.
[0004] In view of traditional Chinese medicine is a complex system composed of multiple components, and its components are affected by multiple factors, such as variety, origin, harvesting, processing, etc., but the diversity and complexity of the components in traditional Chinese medicine are the material basis for its good curative effect, wide application and small side effects. This material basis has been in a state of ambiguity and is difficult to evaluate comprehensively for a long time. After the compatibility and decoction of multiple flavors, the quality of the compound cannot be evaluated with clear, effective and reasonable indicators. However, the treatment effect of traditional Chinese medicine compound is directly related to its quality, and poor quality of traditional Chinese medicine compound will directly lead to poor treatment effect, which requires quality control of traditional Chinese medicine compound to ensure the stability and controllability of curative effect. The quality control of traditional Chinese medicine needs to monitor all the effective components, and the quality control system established can ensure the effectiveness, controllability and safety of the drug. Therefore, establishing a modern quality control system with the characteristics of basic theory of traditional Chinese medicine, solving the problems of traditional Chinese medicine analysis and improving the existing quality control method are the research hotspots today.

[0034] In some embodiments, the concentrating under reduced pressure comprises first and second concentrating under reduced pressure. The filtrate is first concentrated under reduced pressure to a relative density of 1.05-1.14 at 60°C, and then centrifuged. The filtrate is further second concentrated under reduced pressure to a relative density of 1.15-1.20 at 60°C, and then conventional excipients are added to obtain the concentrated solution.
[0035] In some embodiments, the inlet air temperature is 100°C. The feeding rate of the concentrated solution is 100-150 r / min. The atomization pressure is 0.2 MPa outside and 0.3 MPa inside. The drying is performed at 60°C for 1-1.5 h.
[0036] Specifically, the kidney-nourishing and wind-dispelling traditional Chinese medicine compound composition comprises the following components in the weight ratio: 9-30 parts of raw Huangqi, 6-12 parts of Jiumeur, 3-6 parts of Quanxie, 5-10 parts of fried Jiegeng'e, 9-30 parts of Taizi'gen, 6-12 parts of fried Baishu, 6-30 parts of Shivei, 3-10 parts of Honghua, 3-10 parts of Chuanmou, 15-30 parts of Baihuashexie, 15-30 parts of Fulingpi, and 9-30 parts of Cheqianzi.

[0037] The aforementioned herbal compound composition for tonifying the kidneys and dispelling wind uses "tonifying the kidneys and dispelling wind" as its main treatment principle. The prescription is precise and the medicinal effect is specific, closely addressing the core pathogenesis and main contradictions of proteinuria in nephritis: insufficient kidney qi and wind-evil invasion. The selection of prescriptions and medications is based on years of clinical experience, avoiding the drawbacks of trying to treat everything at once and causing mutual restraint. It uses fewer but more effective herbs, achieving significant therapeutic effects. The herbal compound composition for tonifying the kidneys and dispelling wind is more targeted in treating various pathological types of nephritis and mild to severe proteinuria, with a clear overall effective rate and low adverse reactions, making it easier to promote and treat. The dosage of whole scorpion in the herbal compound composition of this invention is slightly higher than in general prescriptions. Whole scorpion is an insect-based medicine, often used to treat proteinuria in nephritis. The conventional daily dose is 1-3g. The inventor inherited the medication experience of the national master of traditional Chinese medicine, Zou Yanqin, and combined it with many years of clinical experience, breaking through the dosage limits of insect-based medicines such as whole scorpion for proteinuria in nephritis. Through repeated clinical reflection and summarization, it has been verified that a higher dose of whole scorpion can be used in clinical treatment, with more significant efficacy at lower doses and no obvious toxic side effects.
[0038] The compatibility principle of the herbal compound composition for tonifying the kidney and dispelling wind is as follows:
[0039] In this traditional Chinese medicine compound, raw astragalus and wine-processed cornus are the principal herbs. Raw astragalus replenishes vital energy and kidney qi, invigorates qi, strengthens essence, and tonifies the lungs and strengthens the exterior, making it an essential medicine for treating kidney disease. Wine-processed cornus strengthens yin, benefits essence, and tonifies the liver and kidneys, which are its special functions. Combining this with Zhang Xichun's statement that "it astringes the righteous qi without astringing the evil qi, unlike other astringent medicines," it astringes essence and stops leakage without astringing the evil. The two herbs together tonify and strengthen the kidneys, treating the root cause. Scorpion and stir-fried silkworm are the assistant herbs, with "dispelling wind" as their key function. Wind evil is difficult to eliminate when it lingers, and cannot be dispersed by ordinary wind-dispelling medicines. Over time, it is accompanied by stagnation of kidney meridians. These two insects are used to dispel wind and unblock meridians to search out the lurking evil. Silkworm is light and dispersing, dispersing wind-heat evil qi externally, and benefiting the throat to dispel wind. It addresses the evil qi from the throat as well, thus resolving both internal and external wind.
[0040] Codonopsis pilosula, a smaller form of ginseng, enters the lung and spleen meridians. It nourishes while clearing heat, and its effects are flexible, addressing deficiencies in the five internal organs according to its function. The yang of the five internal organs generates yin and blood; yang arises naturally, and yin grows accordingly. It clears deficiency fire, stops sweating, generates fluids, and replenishes the original qi of the lungs and spleen.
[0041] Atractylodes macrocephala: Li Zongzi believed that "Atractylodes macrocephala is sweet and warm in nature, and it has the harmonious Qi of the middle Jiao. Therefore, it is the best medicine for tonifying the spleen and stomach." When the middle Jiao is weak, Atractylodes macrocephala can help to regulate the middle Qi, strengthen the spleen and dry dampness. When the earth is strong, it can restore the original position of clearing and ascending and descending of turbidity. It can also strengthen the body, remove dampness and fill the interior. When the interior Qi is full, the exterior Qi will be solidified. When combined with raw Astragalus membranaceus, it can fill the interior and strengthen the exterior at the same time.
[0042] Safflower and Ligusticum chuanxiong: These herbs promote blood circulation and harmonize the meridians throughout the treatment. The combination of safflower and Ligusticum chuanxiong gently disperses blood stasis. They penetrate deep into the blood to remove stubborn blood stasis and stagnant blood, gradually relieving lower back pain and kidney stagnation, and restoring harmony to the blood vessels.
[0043] Pyrrosia lingua, Poria cocos peel, Plantago asiatica seed, and Hedyotis diffusa: The developers inherited the principles of traditional Chinese medicine master Zou Yanqin, who favored a mild diuretic approach and a heavy dose of light medicine. In clinical practice, they frequently combine mild diuretics such as Poria cocos peel and Plantago asiatica seed in a heavy dose to promote diuresis without excessively damaging Qi and Yin. For patients with chronic nephritis accompanied by edema, diuresis is the primary focus, combined with herbs like Hedyotis diffusa and Pyrrosia lingua that clear damp-heat, achieving a synergistic effect of mild diuresis and clearing heat. Furthermore, these herbs guide the medicine to the kidney meridian, serving as adjuvant herbs.
[0044] Invention Concept: The inventors believe that whether proteinuria is caused by primary or secondary kidney disease, the primary location of the disease is in the kidneys, with the spleen and kidneys as key factors, involving the lungs, liver, triple burner, and bladder. The etiology is inseparable from both congenital deficiency and acquired malnutrition. External and internal factors such as the six pathogenic factors, drug toxicity, the seven emotions, diet, and overwork are both the cause and the cause of the disease's progression, often persisting throughout its development and requiring careful clinical treatment. This disease is characterized by deficiency in the root and excess in the branch, with spleen and kidney deficiency as the fundamental cause, especially kidney qi insufficiency. During the course of the disease, pathological factors such as wind, dampness, damp heat, and blood stasis often coexist, leading to persistent and difficult-to-cure proteinuria.
[0045] ① Spleen and Kidney Deficiency as the Root Cause: Proteinuria in chronic nephritis is a Western medical term, and there is no direct related content in ancient Chinese medical texts. Traditional Chinese medicine research can explore its origins in diseases such as edema, lower back pain, urinary retention, general weakness, and dizziness. Combining ancient Chinese medical texts, the Zou family's nephrology tradition, and many years of clinical experience, the inventor believes that spleen and kidney deficiency is the root cause of this disease, with insufficient kidney qi being the primary culprit. The spleen and kidneys represent the innate and acquired constitution of the human body. The kidneys are the foundation of innate constitution, inherited from parents and replenished by acquired constitution. The essence and yang qi in the kidneys can nourish and warm the five internal organs. If kidney qi is weak, it will inevitably affect the nourishment and functional state of the five internal organs. At the same time, insufficient kidney qi weakens the body's vital energy and reduces its ability to transform qi, allowing pathogenic factors to directly damage the kidneys. The kidneys are the organ of water and the foundation of water storage. If their function is disordered, problems will arise in water metabolism, the storage of essential substances, and the excretion of waste products, leading to a series of manifestations such as edema and proteinuria. The spleen is the foundation of postnatal health, responsible for transporting and transforming the essence of food and fluids. It nourishes the innate constitution with the acquired constitution. If the innate constitution is deficient, it can be restored with postnatal nourishment. However, if the innate constitution is deficient and the postnatal constitution is also insufficient, there is little chance of survival. Therefore, regulating the spleen and kidneys is the key to treating the kidneys. At the same time, the spleen and stomach are the hub of the ascending and descending of Qi. They are responsible for ascending and transporting the essence. When the clear Yang ascends, the essence is consolidated, and when the turbid Yin descends, the Qi is harmonized, and urination and defecation remain unchanged.
[0046] ② Wind evil runs through the whole process: In clinic, wind evil is particularly emphasized in the treatment of pathological factors of proteinuria in kidney disease. It is believed that wind evil damages kidney throughout the whole process of the occurrence and development of proteinuria, and is also the main cause of the intermittent and prolonged proteinuria. As Professor Yan Dexin said: 'Water is calm and clear without wind, but it becomes turbulent and turbid when it encounters wind. Chronic nephritis with proteinuria is lingering and intractable, and the root cause is often wind evil.' The treatment of wind evil needs to consider external wind, internal wind and mixed wind. External wind is mainly exogenous wind evil, which is caused by wind-cold and wind-heat attacking the body surface, and is often accompanied by surface symptoms. Throat symptoms are common in clinic, such as sore throat, even tonsillitis and redness, which are caused by wind-heat evil. Skin itching and even skin rash are also manifestations of external wind. As for internal wind, on the one hand, external wind disturbs the kidney and wind evil hides in the kidney, becoming latent evil, which is difficult to eliminate and often accompanied by other evil. On the other hand, some patients with chronic nephritis are accompanied by high blood pressure, dizziness and even headache, which is caused by internal liver wind, and is caused by deficiency of liver and kidney and lack of kidney yin. Mixed wind is also common in clinic, and proteinuria often increases significantly when it attacks. It is caused by external wind invasion and internal wind activation, and is caused by mixed wind evil. Internal wind is not eliminated, and the healthy qi is not sufficient. External wind will also be invaded.
[0047] ③ Water wet, damp, blood clots mixed: kidney disease more spleen and kidney weakness, or with lung qi deficiency, water metabolism disorder, water and wet evil is one of the main pathological factors, wet heavy turbidity, clinical patients more lower extremity edema, with water and wet evil corresponding to the low high swelling; a part of patients eyelid face swelling mainly, then is wind evil mixed with water and wet evil; stool not into shape or loose sticky, tired and weak also more, more by spleen and kidney deficiency, water wet spleen caused by. Damp heat is often caused by water and wet heat and long-term retention, wet and hot and mutual resistance, combined and difficult to distinguish, sticky and difficult to solve, also difficult to eliminate in symptoms; two evil who more who less, who master who auxiliary, pathogenesis complex difficult to identify, also for clinical prescription drug added a great difficulty; three wet diffuse nature, often diffuse Sanjiao, proteinuria formation and lower jiao most, but can not ignore the upper and middle two jiao; five wet belong to evil, injury and injury, heat belong to evil, consume Yin liquid, the course of the disease, gas Yin dark consumption, deficiency, more obvious. Zou kidney disease from Zou Yunxiang old Mr. treatment of kidney edema considering blood water disease, that is, considering the pathological factors of blood stasis, on this basis, the inventor inherits Zou's experience and combines years of clinical experience, that chronic nephritis proteinuria blood stasis and wind evil throughout the disease, when the blood stasis or visible or difficult to capture, there are light, often with other pathological factors, so that wind, heat and blood stasis combined with the disease, exacerbating the complexity of pathogenesis, the intractability of the disease.
[0048] According to its etiology and pathogenesis and pathological factors, the inventor established the basic method of treating nephrotic proteinuria "benefiting qi, dispelling wind, removing blood stasis and clearing and draining", and self-made Yishen Qufeng Decoction, which mainly includes Huangqi, Taizishen, Jiurusu, Chuaibai-shu, Quanxie, Chaojiangcan, Shiwu, Honghua, Chuanmiao, Baihuashexie, Fulingpi, Cheqianzi. Yishen Qufeng Decoction is mainly for lung, spleen and kidney, and can dispel water and dampness, damp heat, blood stasis and wind evil, and treat deficiency and excess simultaneously. It has achieved good results in clinical application. There is an urgent need for efficient and convenient Chinese patent medicine preparations for patients with chronic nephritis to bring greater benefits to kidney patients.
[0049] The development of the project has wide clinical and market development prospects. According to the inventor's single outpatient volume, about 40% to 60% of kidney disease patients have proteinuria, and the patient demand of the inventor has reached 2000 person-times / year. The annual outpatient volume of the Nephrology Department of Jiangsu Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine is about 150,000 times, and it is estimated that at least 50,000 person-times / year have the demand of reducing urinary protein, which has great economic benefits, and can help patients delay the progression of kidney function, reduce the use of expensive immunosuppressive agents, and reduce the economic burden on individuals, families and society. In the future, on the basis of clinical use of hospital preparations, new proteinuria-lowering drugs with clear mechanism of action, clear effective components, stable and controllable quality, advanced production process, definite curative effect and safe and reliable can be further developed, which is expected to create huge economic and social benefits, and is also an important part of promoting Chinese medicine culture and promoting the modernization of traditional Chinese medicine.
[0050] In some embodiments, in the identification of Astragalus, the volume ratio of the developing agent trichloromethane-methanol-10wt% sodium hydroxide solution is 13:7:2; the ultraviolet light has a wavelength of 366nm.
[0051] In some embodiments, in the identification of Astragalus, the sulfuric acid ethanol solution has a solvent of ethanol and a solute of sulfuric acid, and the concentration of sulfuric acid is 10wt%.
[0052] In some embodiments, in the identification of Wine Junmei, the volume ratio of the developing agent toluene-ethyl acetate-formic acid solvent is 5:8:1.

[0055] In some embodiments, the Wine Junmei negative sample particles are prepared by the preparation method of the kidney-yi and wind-removing traditional Chinese medicine compound composition except for Wine Junmei.
[0056] In some embodiments, in the content determination of calycosin-7-glucoside, the calculation method is the external standard method.
[0057] The idea of identifying only Astragalus and Wine Junmei in the traditional Chinese medicine compound composition in the present application is as follows: Astragalus and Wine Junmei are the monarch drugs in the kidney-yi and wind-removing traditional Chinese medicine compound composition of the present application, so thin layer chromatography is used to identify Astragalus and Wine Junmei in the quality detection method of the present application.
[0058] The idea of determining the content of calycosin-7-glucoside in the traditional Chinese medicine compound composition granules for benefiting kidney and dispelling wind in the present application is as follows: the traditional water decoction method is used to extract the traditional Chinese medicine compound composition to prepare granules, and the index component of Jiu Gushu is not found in the granules after detection, and the index component of Jiu Gushu cannot be extracted by the water extraction method, but the index component of calycosin-7-glucoside of Astragalus in the pharmacopoeia is found in the detection, so the content of calycosin-7-glucoside in the traditional Chinese medicine compound composition granules for benefiting kidney and dispelling wind is determined by the high performance liquid chromatography method.

[0215] Example 6: Animal experiment
[0216] All the researches of the present application comply with the animal research ethics of the Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine.
[0217] 1. Selection of animals
[0218] SPF level 5-week-old SD male rats, weighing 180±20g.
[0219] 2. Establishment of passive Heyman nephritis membranous nephropathy model in SD male rats
[0220] (1) Modeling method
[0221] Forty SD male rats were selected, and were bred in a specific pathogen free (Specific pathogen free, SPF) level experimental animal room. The rats in the modeling group were injected with goat anti-Fx1A antiserum through the tail vein once, and the dose was 0.5mL / 100g. The rats in the normal control group were injected with the same amount of normal saline through the tail vein once. The 24-hour urine protein quantification of the rats was determined at the end of the first week, the 24h urine was collected in a metal metabolism cage, the 24h urine protein was determined by a urine protein kit, and the modeling was considered to be successful when the 24h urine protein quantification was >10mg / d.
[0222] (2) Grouping and administration
[0223] 40 SD rats, after adaptive feeding for 1 week, were randomly divided into 5 groups, 8 in each group:
[0224] ① blank group (healthy rats, standard rat feed diet);
[0225] ② PHN model group (modeling + physiological saline gavage);
[0226] ③ low-dose Yishen Qufeng Decoction group (modeling + 9.27 g / kg / d gavage);
[0227] ④ medium-dose Yishen Qufeng Decoction group (modeling + 18.54 g / kg / d gavage);
[0228] ⑤ high-dose Yishen Qufeng Decoction group (modeling + 37.08 g / kg / d gavage);
[0229] The above dosing was performed after successful modeling.
[0230] The above Yishen Qufeng Decoction was prepared by Example 5, and the dosage was based on the mass of the total medicinal materials.
[0231] 3. Specimen processing
[0232] (1) On the last day of adaptive feeding, 24h urine protein quantification was uniformly measured, and rats with 24h-UTP > 10 mg / d were excluded (rats with spontaneous kidney disease were excluded), urine specimens were taken every week after modeling began, 24h urine protein quantification was measured, serum specimens were taken every 2 weeks, and kidney tissue specimens were taken after fasting for 12h at the 8th week.
[0233] (2) Urine collection: 24-hour urine was collected in a rat metabolic cage.
[0234] (3) Anesthesia: rats were anesthetized by intraperitoneal injection of 4wt% sodium pentobarbital, 0.15 mL / 100g.
[0235] (4) Kidney tissue sampling: experimental rats were anesthetized by intraperitoneal injection (4wt% sodium pentobarbital, 0.15 mL / 100g), after successful anesthesia, blood samples were collected by heart puncture, and heart perfusion was immediately performed when the rat still had a weak heartbeat. First, fix the blood needle and connect it to physiological saline, slowly push it forward, and observe the organ fullness. When the organ gradually swells, cut open the right auricle, about 2-3 minutes later, the kidney starts to turn white, and immediately stop perfusion after the kidney is completely white. Remove the capsule and surrounding fat, and divide the kidney tissue into 3 parts for pathology, immunohistochemistry, and western blot, respectively. The samples were stored in a -80℃ refrigerator.
[0236] 4. Index detection
[0237] (1) Urine: urine protein quantification was detected by the biuret method;

[0275] 4. Grouping and experimental results
[0276] From September 2018 to January 2021, 55 patients with chronic nephritis proteinuria were collected from the outpatient and inpatient departments of Jiangsu Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine. The treatment group had 28 cases, and the control group had 27 cases, all of which met the inclusion criteria of this study: (1) age between 20 and 75 years old, gender not limited; (2) met the western medical diagnostic criteria for chronic glomerulonephritis, with proteinuria as the main clinical manifestation; (3) TCM syndrome differentiation was spleen and kidney qi deficiency, combined with wind damage to the kidney; (4) 24-hour urinary protein quantification was 0.5-3.5 g / d; (5) serum creatinine < 110 μmol / L; (6) infection, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia could be effectively controlled.

[0279] The comparison of Western medical effects between the two groups was made by rank sum test, Z = -2.183, P = 0.033 (P < 0.05), and the difference was statistically significant. The total effective rate of the treatment group was 92.86%, and the total effective rate of the control group was 81.48%, as shown in Table 14. The experimental results show that the Western medical effect of the treatment group is higher than that of the control group.
[0280] Table 14 Comparison of Western medical effects of two groups of patients after treatment
[0281]
[0282] 4.2 Comparison of TCM effects of two groups of patients after treatment
[0283] The comparison of TCM effects between the two groups was made by rank sum test, Z = -4.124, P = 0 (P < 0.01), and the difference was statistically significant. The total effective rate of the treatment group was 89.29%, and the total effective rate of the control group was 37.04%, as shown in Table 15. The experimental data show that the TCM effect of the treatment group is significantly higher than that of the control group.

[0285]
[0286] 4.3 Comparison of 24-hour urinary protein quantification (UTP (g / d)) of two groups of patients after 3 months of treatment before and after treatment
[0287] Compared with before treatment, the 24-hour urinary protein quantification of the two groups of patients after 3 months of treatment was significantly improved, with a statistically significant difference (P < 0.01). The comparison between the two groups after treatment showed that P = 0.021 < 0.05, and the difference was statistically significant. The experimental data show that the urinary protein quantification of the treatment group decreased more significantly than that of the control group, as shown in Table 16.

[0289]
[0290] 4.4 Comparison of 24-hour urinary protein quantification (UTP (g / d)) of two groups of patients after 1 month, 2 months, and 3 months of treatment before and after treatment
[0291] By t-test, the 24-hour urinary protein quantification of the two groups of patients after 1 month, 2 months, and 3 months of treatment was significantly lower than that before treatment (P < 0.01), with a significant difference, as shown in Table 17.
[0292] Table 17 Comparison of 24-hour UTP (g / d) of two groups of patients before treatment and after 1 month, 2 months and 3 months of treatment
[0293]
[0294] 4.5 Comparison of albumin, urea nitrogen and blood creatinine of two groups of patients before and after treatment
[0295] By t test, there was no statistically significant difference in albumin and urea nitrogen of the treatment group before and after treatment (P>0.05), and the blood creatinine of the treatment group decreased after treatment, which had a statistically significant difference (P=0.006<0.01); there was no statistically significant difference in albumin, urea nitrogen and blood creatinine of the control group before and after treatment (P>0.05); by paired sample t test, it was found that there was no statistically significant difference in albumin, urea nitrogen and blood creatinine of two groups of patients after treatment (P>0.05), as shown in Table 18.
[0296] Table 18 Comparison of albumin (g / L), blood urea nitrogen (mmol / L) and blood creatinine (μmol / L) of two groups of patients before and after treatment
[0297]
[0298] The inclusion criteria of the chronic nephritis proteinuria patients in the clinical study of the application is that the blood creatinine is less than 110 μmol / L, and the collected clinical cases of blood creatinine, albumin and urea nitrogen are in the normal range, so there is almost no statistically significant difference in albumin, urea nitrogen and blood creatinine of two groups of patients before and after treatment (except for the comparison of blood creatinine in the treatment group).
[0299] The chronic glomerulonephritis in the clinical study of the application is mainly manifested by proteinuria, and the treatment is also focused on reducing proteinuria, while albumin, blood creatinine and urea nitrogen reflect liver and kidney function, and these three indexes are not the core of the treatment of chronic glomerulonephritis, but are more used as indexes for long-term efficacy observation and safety evaluation.
[0300] The application provides a quality detection method for a kidney-yang and wind-eliminating traditional Chinese medicine compound composition, and there are many methods and approaches for specifically implementing the technical scheme, and the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the application, and it should be pointed out that, for ordinary skilled persons in the technical field, some improvements and refinements can be made without departing from the principle of the application, and these improvements and refinements should also be regarded as the protection scope of the application. The components not explicitly described in the embodiment can be realized by the prior art.
