Chronic renal failure (CRF) is defined as a permanent reduction in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) sufficient to produce detectable alterations in well-being and organ function. This usually occurs at GFR below 25 ml/min. In this report, is a 75-year-old woman who had back pain and diarrhea as chief complaints. She was diagnosed with CRF on March. 2008. is a 62-year-old man who had whole body weakness, anorexia and dyspepsia as chief complaints. He was diagnosed with CRF on 2008. We used herbal enteroclysis solution. which consists of Radix et Rhizoma Rhei. Concha Ostreae and Radix Glycyrrhizae or Radix Salviae Miltiorrhizae. Herbal enteroclysis was done for 15 min once a day. Enteroclysis solution was controlled at 37-39 ℃ and inserted 15-20cm depth for intubation. We found the patient’s BUN, creatinine and GFR were improved through enteroclysis. In both and , the patient’s BUN and creatinine decreased, and GFR increased favorably. This result suggests that herbal enteroclysis used for CRF is effective in clinical therapy.
