On the basis of conventional therapy, the treatment group was treated with Qihuangyishen decoction while the control group was treated with coated aldehyde oxystarch. Blood routine results, serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, and endogenous creatinine clearance rate were observed before and after the treatment in both groups. Results The total effective rate was 82.5% and 67.8% in the treatment group and the control group respectively, the difference showing statistical significance (χ2=16.258, P<0.01 ) , Conclusion Qihuangyishen decoction was effective in treating chronic renal failure.
