Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives : This case is to report the effect of Oryeong-san and acupuncture therapy on serum creatinine level of a cerebral infarction patient with diabetic nephropathy.
Methods : A female Korean patient was treated with Oryeong-san, acupuncture for total 32 days. We observed renal function test, input/output balance, body weight, hand and foot circumferences, and other symptoms like edema, urination, and any adverse event.
Results : After treatment, serum creatinine level was improved to 2.48mg/dL from 3.45mg/dL at admission, and foot circumference was decreased to 18.5~18.9cm from 22.0~22.5cm without any adverse event. However, we couldn’t find any significant differences on input/output balance, body weight, or symptoms of urination.
Conclusion : This case suggests that Oryeong-san and acupuncture therapy could be effective in improving serum creatinine clearance of cerebral infarction patient with diabetic nephropathy.
