ABSTRACT

Proteinuria is a sign of various kidney diseases. As the concentration of protein in urine increases, it also indicates continuous damage to the kidneys. Therefore, treating proteinuria is particularly important for protecting renal function. The methods of treating proteinuria in traditional Chinese medicine include taking traditional Chinese medicine decoctions orally and various external treatment methods in traditional Chinese medicine. Western medicine mainly focuses on protecting renal function to slow down the decline of renal function when treating proteinuria. Using only traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine treatment cannot achieve the most ideal effect. Currently, in clinical practice, the combined treatment of traditional Chinese and Western medicine is often adopted to achieve the best therapeutic effect.
