The invention discloses a Chinese medicine composition for treating chronic renal failure. Traditional Chinese medicine holds that the chronic renal failure belongs to the category of 'consumptive disease' and 'uroschesis', and the pathogenesis of the chronic renal failure is deficiency of spleen and kidney and turbidity blockade. Therefore, the Chinese medicine composition comprises Chinese medicines including rust-coloured crotalaria herb with root, satyrium root, dried rehmannia root, radix astragali, cinnamon, concha ostreae, radix scutellariae, philippine flemingia root, sticktight and summer purslane, and enema is prepared by a preparation room of the institution. After clinical test, the total effective rate is 97.4%, Scr (serum creatinine) and BUN (blood urea nitrogen) reduction of a control group is obviously superior to that of an existing control group, and the Chinese medicine composition is low in treatment cost, simple and convenient in method and worthy of clinical popularization and application.

The invention discloses an evaluation method for diet protein intake (DPI) of a chronic kidney disease (CKD) patient. Through research of relationships between a fasting serum blood urea nitrogen/creatinine ratio (BUN/Cr) and a single-time urine urea nitrogen/creatinine ratio (UUN/Cr) of a CKD third-phase patient with a stable illness state, and the diet protein intake (DPI), a DPI simple calculation formula based on the fasting serum BUN/Cr and/or random urine UUN/Cr is established. According to the final calculation formula, it is expected that a traditional method for evaluating the DPI through subsistence of the urine within 24 hours can be replaced by a biochemical detection result of a single-time blood or urine in clinical follow-up. Defects such as complexity, long detection time, poor accuracy, difficult sample subsistence or low patient compliance in the traditional method are overcome. Clinically, the method can be used for clinical follow-up, simple blood drawing or single-time urination, thereby evaluating the DPI. The method can be used for managing the diet protein intake of the CKD patient well, fast and conveniently.
