Abstract: Objective To observe the clinical effect of treating chronic renal failure with herbal retention-enema.Methods 23 cases with chronic renal failure were randomly recruited into a control group and a treatment group. The control group was treated with routine western medicine (low salt, low fat, and low protein diet, and correcting disturbance of water-electrolyte and acid-base balance), and the treatment group was treated with herbal retention-enema (Rhubarb, Concha ostreae, Dandelion, and Processing aconite). The clinical effect was observed in both groups. Results The clinical effect in the treatment group was significantly higher than that of the control group (χ2=3.456, P＜0.05). Conclusion The treatment of chronic renal failure with herb retention-enema is better than routine western medicine.
