Objective: To explore the effect and mechanism of kidney-warming and astringent therapy in treating nephrotic syndrome patients with deficiency of spleen and kidney yang and overflow of water, and to observe the change of plasma endothelin and interleukin-2 receptor after treatment. Metheds: Forty-four patients were randomly divided into conventional steroid treated group (control group, 20 cases) and conventional steroid plus kidney-warming and astringent therapy treated group (treatment group, 24 cases). The levels of plasma endothelin (ET), soluable interleukin-2 receptor (sIL-2) were observed. Results: Before treatment, plasma ET and sIL-2 in the patients were significantly higher than those in healthy people (P <0.01). After treatment, the ET and sIL-2 levels were obviously improved in both treated groups (P <0.05) and the improvement in the treatment group was more obvious. The difference between the two treated groups after treatment was significant (P <0.05).Conclusion: Conventional treatment plus kidney-warming and astringent therapy can effectively improve the levels of plasma ET and sIL-2 in treating nephrotic syndrome patients with deficiency of spleen and kidney yang and overflow of water, and hence alleviate the damage of renal tissue.

Key words: nephrotic syndrome, kidney-warming and astringent therapy, endothelin, soluable interleukin-2 receptor
