Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine
With
Chinese Medicine (CM) treatment has been applied to CKD patients commonly in China, especially those independent of dialysis. Based on the personal experience of experts from different areas in China, patients with stage 5 CKD have been treated with different formulations of herbs including Astragalus membranaceus (Huangqi), Codonopsis pilosula (Dangshen), Semen Cuscutae (Tusizi) and Radix et Rhizoma Rhei (Dahuang) etc. . Based on the Traditional Chinese Medicine theory and clinical practise, these herbal medicines help strengthening "spleen-kidney" and dispelling "turbidity" . To determine whether CM therapies including Chinese herbal formula, Chinese patent medicine via oral pattern and/or Colonic administration, will significantly defer dialysis initiation, we conduct the Chinese Medicine on Deferring Dialysis Initiation (C-MODDI) study. It's a multicenter, prospective, controlled trial, also an effectiveness study that are conducted in the "real world" of a variety of busy clinical practices, with heterogeneous interventions that are more representative of the general effectiveness of CM therapies.
