[Study of the relation of the typology of nephrotic syndrome and red cell C3b receptor, T cell function].
This paper reports the determined results of rosette rates of red cell C3b receptor and active rosette (Ea) rates of T lymphocyte in 39 cases of nephrotic syndrome. Typology of nephrotic syndrome according to TCM differentiation symptoms, all the 39 cases were divided into three types: (1) 13 cases of deficiency of Qi of the Spleen with stagnancy of dampness; (2) 9 cases of deficiency of Yang of the Spleen and Kidney; (3) 17 cases of deficiency of Yin of the Liver and Kidney. The results showed that the red cell C3b receptor rosette rate and Ea rosette rate in 39 cases of nephrotic syndrome were significantly lower than those in the control. The difference between the two groups was very obvious (P less than 0.001) among the three types. The rosette rates of both in the deficiency of Qi of the Spleen and deficiency of Yang of the Spleen and Kidney were markedly decreased than those in the control (P less than 0.001). Whereas, the red cell C3b receptor rosette rate was lower than that in the control (P less than 0.01), and T cell Ea rosette rate showed no statistical difference (P greater than 0.05) in the deficiency of Yin of the Liver and Kidney. There was a close relationship between the immune dysfunction of red cell and the pathogenesis in nephrotic syndrome. There was markedly relationship between the pathogenesis of deficiency of Yang of the Spleen and Kidney and deficiency of Qi of Spleen with stagnancy of dampness and T cell immune dysfunction. While the Ea level in deficiency of Yin of the Liver and Kidney was closely correlated with the control. Probably this type was nephrotic nephrosis which had been treated with TCM-WM.
