Acupuncture treatment for 12 weeks significantly reduced the
serum creatinine levels and increased the estimate glomerular filtration rate (eGFR)
in patients with chronic kidney disease. Results of a preliminary clinical
study were just published in the Journal of Complementary and Alternative
Medicine.
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a progressive decline of
kidney function over a period of months or years and is a recognized public
health problem affecting up to 10% of global population. It is believed that
the two main causes of CKD are diabetes and hypertension. Main symptoms that
develop during CKD progression are proteinuria, peripheral edema, hypertension,
anaemia, and fatigue. Although medication is able to control the progression of
the disease, the adverse effects of long-term use of medication could cause
more damage on kidney function. Complementary and alternative medicine such as acupuncture
and Chinese herbal medicine are used to effectively treat CKD in China for a
very long time.
Recently, a randomized and single-blinded controlled
clinical study was conducted to assess the effect of acupuncture on renal
function in patients with CKD. The subjects were randomly allocated to real
acupuncture group (RA, n=30) and sham acupuncture (SA, n=29) groups. In RA
group electro-acupuncture was performed on acupoints LI4, ST36 and KI3 to patients
with CKD for 20 min per-session, once a week for 12 consecutive weeks. While in
SA group, the acupuncture methods were identical to in the RA, acupuncture
needle was applied to the subcutaneous layer at 1.5 cm lateral to the
aforementioned acupoints, without electrical discharge. Renal function was
monitored by measuring the levels of serum creatinine and estimated glomerular
filtration rate (eGFR) at 3 months before acupuncture, immediately before the acupuncture
treatment (baseline), at the end of 12-week treatment and at the 3-month
follow-up.
The data showed that there was no difference of
creatinine and eGFR at 3 months before acupuncture and baseline between RA and
SA groups, however, there was significant decrease in creatinine and marked
improvement in eGFR in RA group after 12-week acupuncture and 3-month follow-up
compared with that of SA group.
The results of the study showed that acupuncture could
improve renal function by reducing creatinine and improving eGFR in patients
with CKD.
