[Preliminary study of therapeutical mechanism on chyluria by heat-cleaning and hemostasis drugs].
Ten cases of filarial chyluria were treated with Chinese medical herbs. The results showed that the average concentration of serum histamine of 142 ng/ml before treatment dropped to 93 ng/ml after treatment. The average lymph-vessel pressure of 9.93 cmH2O in dorsalis pedis dropped to 4.74 cmH2O after cure. The prevalent microcirculation obstacle of medium to serious grade also was improved or recovered. The average serum viscosity of 1,884 before treatment dropped to 1,725. These results indicated that the chronic lymphatic inflammation occurring in pelvis or behind peritoneum due to perennial stimulation of adult filariae, caused the high concentration of inflammatory medium tissues, the expansion of micro-vessels and the increase of lymph-vessel pressure. Therefore, the microcirculation obstacle was the principle pathogeny of filarial chyluria.
