ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate effects of Shenshuai Yangzhen capsule, a preparation of traditional Chinese medicine, on remnant renal tissue following nephrectomy in malnutrition rats with chronic renal failure.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>SD rats were subjected to 5/6 nephrectomy and fed 4% casein diet to induce chronic renal failure (CRF), and their blood urea nitrogen (BUN), serum creatinine (Scr), serum albumin (ALB), hemoglobin (Hb), 24-hour urineprotein (24-h Upro) and body weight were measured. Upon the onset of malnutrition, the rats were randomized into CRF control group (CC), ketosteril group (KT), and Shenshuai Yangzhen group (SSYZ), with also a normal control group (NC). After 4 weeks of treatment as indicated, the remnant nephrotic tissue was examined under optical and electron microscopes and by immunofluorescence assay.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Malnutrition occurred in the CRF rats at the end of the 10th weeks after the operation. Compared with those in CC group, the plasma BUN, SCr and 24-h Upro levels in SSYZ group were significantly lower with substantially elevated plasma ALB and Hb. The pathological changes of SSYZ group was significantly improved after treatment with Shenshuai Yangzhen capsule.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Shenshuai Yangzhen capsule can improve malnutrition and reduce renal damage in rats with renal insufficiency.</p>
