Objective:To investigate the effects of Bailing capsules on the expression of TGF-β1 in the peritoneal dialysis solution for peritoneal dialysis patients. Methods: Totally 40 patients treated with peritoneal dialysis ( PD) were randomly divided into two groups (20 cases in the control group and 20 cases in the experimental group). All the patients were treated with PD by 1. 5% perito-neal dialysis effluent (6 000 ml everyday), and the patients in the experimental group were additionally treated with Bailing capsules (5 capsules each time, three times a day after meals) for 6 months. The adequacy of PD (including Kt/V and Ccr) of the two groups was examined after the one-month treatment. The renal function and the level of TGF-β1 in the effluent in 1, 3 and 6 month were com-pared between the two groups. Results:The adequacy of PD ( Kt/V and Ccr ) had no significant difference between the two groups (P<0. 05). The level of serum creatine was decreased significantly in both groups after the one-month treatment (P<0. 05), and no significant change was shown in 3 and 6 month (P>0. 05). In the control group, the expression of TGF-β1 in the effluent in 1, 3 and 6 month was increased gradually with significant difference (P<0. 05). In the experimental group, the expression of TGF-β1 in the effluent had no significant difference in 1, 3 and 6 month (P>0. 05), which was lower than that in the control group (P<0. 05). Conclusion:Bailing capsules can decrease the expression of TGF -β1 in the effluent for the patients treated with PD and inhibit the peritoneal fibrosis.
