title: [Xianbai buyang Huanwu decoction used for treating hypertension with kidney qi deficiency and blood stasis].
abstract: 80 patients of presenium hypertension with geriatric Kidney Qi Deficiency and Blood Stasis were randomly divided into two groups. (1) Traditional Chinese Medicine group (TCMG, 50 cases) treated with Xianbai Buyang Huanwu Decoction (XBH); (2) Western medicine group (WMG, 30 cases) treated with compound hypotensor tablets and gamma-evening primrose-E oil capsules.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The difference between the two groups was not significant (P > 0.05). After treatment, in TCMG, serum cholesterol and triglyceride, fibrinogen, whole blood viscosity and plasma viscosity, plasma and erythrocyte LPO activity lowered significantly, and plasma SOD and erythrocyte SOD raised significantly (P < 0.001-0.05), while in WMG, only showed the plasma LPO dropped (P < 0.05). The results suggested that XBH has the effects of reducing blood pressure, lowering the blood lipid, improving hemorrheological parameters and antioxidation.
