Abstract:
This paper was aimed to discuss the mechanism of aristolchic acid toxicity, pathogenesis and possible causes of aristolchic acid nephropathy. Recent published studies both at home and abroad were summarized on the impact of aristolchic acid on the incidence and progression of aristolchic acid nephropathy. The results showed that traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) containing aristolchic acid was closely associated with the incidence of aristolchic acid nephropathy. It was concluded that the paper provided some suggestions on preventing aristolchic acid nephropathy.
