Levels of serous creatinine (SCr), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), blood albumin (Alb), total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and hemoglobin (Hb) were checked every two months and the rate of progression of CRF was estimated by slope of the creatinine reciprocal (1/SCr) with time (months).Results: Levels of SCr and BUn in group B were lower and HDL higher than those in group A significantly,P < 0.05. Mean slopes of the creatinine reciprocal with time in the two groups were markedly different,P < 0.01.Conclusion: Additional CD treatment based upon the low protein diet and controlling blood pressure could retard the rate of progression of CRF evidently.展开更多
