A clinical investigation on 30 cases of senile benign renal arteriolosclerosis treated by huang qi gu jing yin.
Huang Qi Gu Jing Yin (HQGJY[symbol: see text]decoction of Astragalus root for Strengthening the Essence) was used in a controlled clinical trial for treatment of senile benign renal arteriolosclerosis. In the therapeutic group (n = 30), cure, marked effect and no effect were obtained respectively in 18 (60%), 9 (30%) and 3 (10%) cases with the total effective rate being 90%; the corresponding figures in the control group (n = 30) were 10 (33.3%), 9 (30%) and 11 (36.7%) with the total effective rate being 63.3%. The significant difference (P < 0.01) between the two groups demonstrated that HQGJY is an effective agent for treatment of the disease.
