Abstract:
[Objective] To observe the therapeutic effect of kidney-tonifying herbal medicine for chronic aplastic anemia (CAA) and its effect in regulating immune function. [Methods] Twenty-nine cases of CAA were randomized into 2 groups: group A (n = 15) was treated with routine western medicine plus Huosui Tablets and kidney-tonifying decoction for oral use, and Huosui Ointment for external application; group B (n = 14) was treated with routine western medicine only. Three months constituted one treatment course and the two groups were treated for over 2 courses. After treatment, the therapeutic effect was assessed and the changes of peripheral blood counting and immune function indexes were compared with those before treatment. [Results] After treatment, the total effective rate was 80.0% in group A and 42.9% in group B, the difference being significant (P 0.05) . [Conclusion] Kidney-tonifying herbal medicine is effective for the treatment of CAA and its therapeutic effect may be related to the regulation of immune function.
