Abstract
ObjectiveThis study aims to observe the curative effect of Huaiqihuang Granules adjuvant therapy on primary nephrotic syndrome (PNS).MethodsA total of 112 children with PNS were randomly divided into three groups, and changes in serum inflammatory cytokines, interleukin, lymphocyte subsets and immunoglobulin were observed.ResultsBefore treatment, IL-18, TNF-α, CD8+ increased, while IL-10, CD4+, NK cells, IgA, IgG and Foxp3+Treg cells decreased. After Huaiqihuang Granules treatment, IL-18, TNF-α, CD8+ decreased, while IL-10, CD4+, NK cells, IgA, IgG and Foxp3+Treg cells increased.ConclusionFunctions of cell immunity and humoral immunity in PNS patients before treatment were suppressed and disordered. Huaiqihuang granules can play a role in immunoregulation, with slight side reactions.
Highlights
Objective: This study aims to observe the curative effect of Huaiqihuang Granules adjuvant therapy on primary nephrotic syndrome (PNS)
The main effective component of Huaiqihuang Granules is Trametes robiniophila murr polysaccharide, which can activate macrophages, neutrophils and natural killer (NK) cells, promote the division, proliferation, maturation and differentiation of T cells, adjust the Th/Ts ratio, enhance humoral immunity, induce cytokine production, and further activate immune cells [8]
A large number of studies have reported that serum TNF-α levels significantly increased in the acute phase of renal disease, significantly decreased in the recovery period, was positively correlated with the amount of urine protein, and that TNF-α is involved in the pathogenesis of PNS [9]
