Abstract:Objective:The clinical effect of the therapy of Sanjin Weiwei tang combined with auricular point pressing with beans based on routine administration on kidney calculi after extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy(ESWL) was observed. Methods:A total of 88 patients with kidney calculi with dampness-heat stasis and stagnation syndrome were selected and divided into the study group and the control group according to the random number table method, with 44 cases in each group. Both groups were treated with ESWL,and routine symptomatic treatment was performed after operation. The control group was treated with tamsulosin hydrochloride sustained release capsules after surgery,and the study group was treated with Sanjin Weiwei tang combined with auricular point pressing with beans. Both groups were treated for four months. The Chinese medicine syndrome scores,recovery time,stone expelling,kidney function indexes,including blood urea nitrogen (BUN),β2-microglobulin(β2-MG) and serum creatinine(SCr),and clinical effects in the two groups were compared. Results: After four weeks of treatment,the total clinical effective rate was 97.73% in the study group,higher than that of 79.55% in the control group, the difference being significant(P<0.01). The scores of difficult and painful urination, urination interruption, frequent urination, pain in waist and abdomen, and bloody or dark urine in the two groups were decreased when compared with those before treatment, and the above five scores in the study group were lower than those in the control group,differences being significant(P<0.01). The pain relief time of waist and abdomen and the disappearance time of visual boody urine in the study group were shorter than those in the control group, the first stone expelling time was earlier,and the stone expelling rate and clean rate were higher,differences being significant(P<0.05). Three days and two weeks after operation,the levels of BUN,β2- MG and SCr in the two groups were increased when compared with those before surgery, Three days and two weeks after surgery, the levels of BUN, β2- MG and SCr in the two groups were increased when compared with those before surgery(P<0.05). When compared with those before surgery, levels of BUN, β2-MG and SCr in the two groups were increased four weeks after surgery(P<0.05), and the comparison of the three levels in the study group before surgery and four weeks after surgery showed no significance in differences(P>0.05). Three days after surgery, levels of BUN, β2-MG and SCr in the study group were lower than those in the control group(P<0.05). Two weeks after surgery, levels of BUN, β2-MG and SCr in the two groups were decreased when compared with those three days after surgery(P<0.05), and the three levels in the study group were lower than those in the control group(P<0.05). Four weeks after surgery, levels of BUN, β2-MG and SCr in the two groups were decreased when compared with those three days and two weeks after surgery(P<0.05), and the three levels in the study group were lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion:The therapy of Sanjin Weiwei tang combined with auricular point pressing with beans can effectively alleviate the Chinese medicine syndromes of patients with kidney calculi after ESWL, promote the stone expelling,improve the clinical effects,and protect the kidney function.
