OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of Yishen huashi granules combined with Losartan potassium tablets on renal function indexes and inflammatory factors of patients with chronic glomerulonephritis. METHODS: A total of 107 patients with chronic glomerulonephritis in our hospital during Jan. 2015-Aug. 2016 were divided into observation group (53 cases) and control group (54 cases) according to therapy plan. Besides basic therapy, control group was given Losartan potassium tablets 50 mg, po,qd; observation group was additionally given Yishen huashi granules 10 g, po,tid, on the basis of control group. Both groups were treated for consecutive 2 mouths. Clinical efficacies, renal function indexes (Scr, BUN, 24 h urine protein quantification, urine red blood cell) and inflammatory factors (IL-13, CRP, TNF-α) levels were all observed in 2 groups, and the occurrence of ADR was recorded. RESULTS: Clinical total response rate of observation group (86.79%) was significantly higher than that of control group (66.67%), with statistical significance (P<0.05). Before treatment, there was no statistical significance in renal function indexes or inflammatory factors levels between 2 groups (P>0.05). After treatment, renal function indexes and inflammatory factors levels of 2 groups were significantly decreased; and observation group was significantly lower than control group, with statistical significance (P<0.05). No obvious ADR was found in 2 groups during treatment. CONCLUSIONS: Yishen huashi granules combined with Losartan potassium tablets in the treatment of chronic glomerulonephritis can improve renal function and reduce inflammation factor level with good safety.
