Abstrakt
Treatment of chronic renal failure with rhubarb and adjuvant drugs combined with other appropriate measures alleviates the suffering of the patients and improves the quality of their survival. Most patients can take care of themselves after treatment, and some can engage in half-day work. The treatment prolongs the life of the patient, and reduces medical expenses. It is of definite social and economic benefit, and conforms with China's conditions. Except for very severe cases whose blood creatinine exceeds 884 mumol/L, it can be given to all patients. It can also be used as a transitional measure before more radical therapies may be instituted.
