TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a traditional Chinese medicine composition for treating acute kidney injury and a preparation method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of traditional Chinese medicine pharmacy. BACKGROUND

[0002] Acute kidney injury (AKI) refers to an increase of serum creatinine by at least 0.3 mg / dl within 48 hours, an increase of SCr to ≥1.5 times the baseline within the past 7 days, and urine output <0.5 ml / kg / h for 6 hours. Factors such as hypotension, ischemia, infection, exposure to nephrotoxic substances, or urinary tract obstruction can cause a decrease in renal blood flow, renal dysfunction, and an increase in serum urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine (Scr) levels, resulting in acute kidney injury.

[0003] According to statistics, 7% of hospitalized patients and 67% of ICU patients will eventually develop acute kidney injury and other organ dysfunction. The treatment options for AKI are very limited in clinical practice. The main treatment strategies focus on etiological treatment (such as controlling infection, restoring blood volume, and stopping the use of nephrotoxic drugs), maintaining water and electrolyte balance and acid-base balance, and using renal replacement therapy (such as hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis) when necessary.

[0021] The application has the advantages of combination innovation, strict compatibility and sufficient theoretical basis: based on the deep understanding of the etiology and pathogenesis of acute kidney injury in TCM, the core pathogenesis is considered as deficiency in origin and excess in superficiality, that is, deficiency of spleen and kidney, and accumulation of dampness, blood stasis and toxic evil, the application takes tonifying qi as the origin, and considers dampness and detoxification, achieving the organic combination of supporting healthy qi and eliminating evil.

[0022] The monarch drug: heavy use of raw astragalus and radix codonopsis. Raw astragalus greatly tonifies the qi of spleen and lung, removes water and swelling, and promotes toxin discharge and skin granulation; Radix codonopsis strengthens the spleen and replenishes qi and blood, and the two drugs are used together as the monarch drug, which greatly tonifies the primordial qi, protects the spleen and kidney, supports healthy qi to resist evil, and provides the fundamental power for the recovery of kidney function. The minister drug: selected from smilax glabra, radix ophiopogonis and luffa, smilax glabra is sweet and bland, which can detoxify, remove dampness, and benefit joints, radix ophiopogonis clears heat and removes dampness, and soothes the liver and relieves depression, and luffa unblocks channels and collaterals, clears heat and resolves phlegm, the three drugs are used together as the minister drug, which mainly undertakes the function of removing dampness, and effectively removes the pathological products such as dampness, heat and toxin accumulated in the body due to kidney failure, and improves the microcirculation of the kidney. The assistant drug: selected from pinellia ternate and dried tangerine or orange peel, which are the main drugs of Erchen decoction, regulating qi, drying dampness and resolving phlegm, and strengthening the spleen and stomach, in the formula, they can assist the monarch drug in strengthening the spleen and replenishing qi, and enhance the effect of the minister drug in removing dampness and removing dampness, preventing the tonifying products from being greasy and hindering the stomach, and playing the role of regulating the middle jiao and transporting water and dampness.

[0023] The two methods of tonifying qi and removing dampness in the formula are used together, which treats the root and branch, and pushes out the old to bring forth the new, has the functions of tonifying qi and removing dampness, and has remarkable clinical effect in the treatment of acute renal insufficiency, and achieves good results in improving kidney function and protecting the kidney.

[0024] The above describes the application and its embodiments, which is not limited, and the actual structure is not limited.
