Abstract
|
|
|
|
The patient was hospitalized for treatment of cerebral infarction (Lt. BG). He was a 61-year-old man who was diagnosed with membranous nephropathy (MN) in 2000. Before admission, he was admitted for treatment for cerebral infarction at another hospital. During that admission, his MN symptoms went from bad to worse, and medication for MN was started (steroid and cyclophosphamide therapy). In our hospital, we started herbal medicine and western medicine combination therapy as well as oriental rehabilitation therapy. Our main herbal medicine was Magsungsinyeom-bang(Moxingshenyanfang). After 5 months, levels of 24 hrs proteinuria, total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol and triglyceride decreased, levels of serum albumin, total protein increased, and clinical symptoms (lower limb edema, general body weakness) improved.
