Abstract:
[Objective] To observe the effect of Xiangdan injection with the actions of activating blood and removing stasis for the treatment of acute tubular necrosis (ATN) after kidney transplantation. [Methods] Twenty-six patients with ATN after kidney transplantation were randomized into groups A and B. The two groups were treated with triple immuno-suppressive agents of cyclosporin A, prednisone and mycophenolic acid, with medicines for protecting liver function and gastric mucosa, and with preventive measures from infection. Additionally, group A (n = 16) was treated with Xiangdan injection, while group B ( n = 10) was not. After treatment, time for hemodialysis, renal function and renal flow resistance index of the transplanted kidney were compared between the two groups after the occurrence of ATN. [Results] Compared with group B, time for hemodialysis was shortened, the decrease of serum creatine (SCr) in the transplanted kidney quickened, and renal flow resistance index (RI) of the transplanted kidney decreased (P 0.05). [Conclusion] Xiangdan injection with the actions of activating blood and removing stasis can promote the early recovery of ATN after kidney transplantation.
