title: [Effect of fushen decoction on thyroid hormone in chronic glomerulonephritis of both spleen and kidney-yang deficiency patients].
abstract: Changes of thyroid hormone level before and after treatment in 45 patients with chronic glomerulo-nephritis were observed. Of which, 23 cases were treated with Fushen Decoction and the other with Shenyan Siwei tablet as control. The results showed: (1) The level of serum T3 and T4 of 45 patients were significantly reduced (P < 0.001-0.01). (2) The level of serum T3 and T4 were significantly negative correlated with the value of BUN and Scr and the score of both Spleen and Kidney-Yang Deficiency Syndrome (P < 0.01-0.05), but there existed no significant negative correlation with urinary protein excretion in 24 hours (P > 0.05). (3) After treatment with Fushen Decoction, the level of serum T3 and T4 significantly increased (P < 0.01-0.05), but no significant change was recorded in control group (P > 0.05). (4) Although the level of serum T3 and T4 were raised, they were still lower than those of normal people.
