abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To observe the effect of the extract from Radix Paeoniae Alba on IgA glomerulonephritis in mice.
  
  
  METHODS
  IgA glomerulonephritis was induced by injection of dextran and sephadex-150. After administrating the extract, the contents of urinary protein, BUN and Cr in serum were determined.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The extract could inhibit the decline of mouse weight, and decrease urinary protein content and BUN content in serum. While, the extract had no effect on Cr in serum.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The extract from Radix Paeoniae Alba had therapeutical effect on IgA glomerulonephritis.
