The effects of Soohwabunchungum on rats with nephrosis induced by a single tail-intravenous injection of PAN(puromycin aminonucleoside), 2.5mg/100g of body weight was evaluated in the present study. The effects of Soohwabunchungum on PAN nephrosis was evaluated by measuring the concentrations of albumin, total protein, total lipid, cholesterol, triglyceride, creatinine, BUN(blood urea nitrogen) and uric acid in the serum the amount of protein, creatinine, glucose, occult blood and volume of the 24 hours urine and the volume of intake water, To conclude, it can be inferred that Soohwabunchungum has the effects of improving proteinuria, hypoproteinemia, hyperlipidemia in nephrotic syndrome, and relieving azotemia when nephrotic syndrome is accompanied by the acute renal failure.
