Abstract:
In hemodialysis patients, malaise is a common compliant. We tried to use Juzen-taiho-to as a treatment for malaise. Seventeen patients took 5g of Juzen-taiho-to twice a day for 8 weeks, and then responded to questionaires regarding their condition. Twelve patients experienced a decreased feeling of malaise, but 4 patients dropped out of the study, and 1 patient was ineffective. Hemodialysis patients usually feel cold and their skin is dry; these are symptoms of weak Ki (elemental energy) and anemia. Juzen-taiho-to is a medicine for Ki and blood deficiency. Juzen-taiho-to is a useful drug for treatment of malaise in hemodialysis patients.
