Abstract

Objectives : Chronic renal failure(CRF) is a pathophysiologic process with multiple etiologies, resulting in the inexorable attrition of nephron number and function and frequently leading to end-stage renal disease. It causes various symptoms(edema, general body weakness, nausea, anorexia, uremia, osteodystrophy and so on) which impair quality of life and long term complications. The purpose of this case is to report the improvement of a patient with chronic renal failure. Methods : We treated the patient with herbal medication(Gyulpyjeonwon) and measured the creatinine, BUN, albumin, hemoglobin in the serum. Results : Gyulpyjeonwon decreased serum creatinine and BUN level and increased serum albumin and hemoglobin level. And the symptoms of CRF(edema, general body weakness, anorexia) was improved significantly. Conclusions : This case suggests the efficacy of herbal medication(Gyulpyjeonwon) to patient who was involved CRF.
