Abstract:
ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical efficacy of Niaoxue No.1 Prescription in treating Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) nephritis with blood heat and stasis syndrome and its effect on urine erythrocyte, urine protein, blood neutrophils, and blood routine-derived indicators. MethodA multicenter, randomized controlled trial (RCT) was conducted involving 108 HSP nephritis patients from three hospitals. The patients were randomly divided into a control group (54 cases) and a treatment group (54 cases). The treatment group received Niaoxue No.1 prescription once daily, while the control group was treated with captopril and ferulic acid tablets. Both groups underwent a 4-week course of treatment. The urine erythrocyte, urine microalbumin (mAlb), urine sediment red blood cell count, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome score, 24-hour urine protein, blood neutrophil count, neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR), lymphocyte to monocyte ratio (LMR), D-dimer, and immunoglobulin A were detected. The recurrence rate of HSP nephritis was followed up for 6 months. ResultThe total effective rates were 88.9% (48/54) in the treatment group and 70.4% (38/54) in the control group, and the treatment group was superior to the control group (χ2=5.708, P<0.05). Compared with the results before treatment, after 14 days of treatment, the TCM syndrome total score, urine erythrocyte, urine mAlb, and 24-hour urine protein in both groups significantly decreased (P<0.05,P<0.01), and the improvement was more significant in the treatment group than the control group (P<0.05). After 28 days of treatment, compared with the results before treatment, the TCM syndrome total score, urine erythrocyte, urine mAlb, urine sediment red blood cell count, D-dimer, and 24-hour urine protein in both groups significantly decreased (P<0.05,P<0.01), with the treatment group showing a more significant reduction in urine mAlb than the control group (P<0.05). On the 14th and 28th days of treatment, the neutrophil percentage and NLR were lower in the treatment group than in the control group (P<0.05), while there was no statistically significant difference in PLR and LMR. The recurrence rate of nephritis in both groups showed no statistically significant difference after a 6-month follow-up. ConclusionNiaoxue No.1 Prescription in the treatment of HSP nephritis with blood heat and stasis syndrome can significantly improve clinical symptoms, shorten the course of the disease, and reduce urine erythrocyte, urine mAlb, 24-hour urine protein, blood neutrophils, and NLR, thereby effectively alleviating the inflammatory state and reducing kidney damage in children with HSP nephritis.
