Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • 24-hour urinary protein quantity

    24-hour urinary protein is the most important and direct indicators of therapeutic effect,so this clinical lab index should be reccord at every point during treatment and follow-up,17 times in total.

    Changes in the quantity of urinary protein at week 1、week2、week 4、week6、week8、week10 and week12 of the treatment phase and at week16、week20、week24、week28、week32、week36、week40、week44、week48 of the follow-up phase compared with baseline

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Urine red blood cells

    Changes in the quantity of urinary protein at week 1、week2、week 4、week6、week8、week10 and week12 of the treatment phase and at week16、week20、week24、week28、week32、week36、week40、week44、week48 of the follow-up phase compared with baseline

Other Outcomes (6)

  • The white blood cell count(WBC) in the blood

    Week0(before treatment),week1、week2、week4、week6、week8、week10 and week12 of the treatment phase and week16、week20、week24、week28、week32、week36、week40、week44、week48 of the follow-up phase

  • The platelet count(PLT) in the blood

    Week0(before treatment),week1、week2、week4、week6、week8、week10 and week12 of the treatment phase and week16、week20、week24、week28、week32、week36、week40、week44、week48 of the follow-up phase

  • Glutamate alanine transferase(ALT) in the blood

    Week0(before treatment),week1、week2、week4、week8、week12 of the treatment phase and week20、week28、week36、week44、week48 of the follow-up phase

  • +3 more other outcomes

Study Arms (2)

TCM multistep therapy

EXPERIMENTAL

Light HSPN:1.Glycosides Of Tripterygium Wilfordii Hook(GTW): initial dosage is 1.5mg/kg/d(4 weeks),continued with 1mg/kg/d(8 weeks),12weeks in total. Severe HSPN:1.GTW:the initial dosage is 2mg/kg/d(2 weeks), continued with 1.5mg/kg/d(2 weeks) and 1mg/kg/d(8 weeks); 12weeks in total. On the above base,Sulfotanshinone Sodium Injection(1mg/kg/d,2weeks) and Qingrezhixue granules(a nosocomial preparation) combined with Chinese herbs(12weeks) based on TCM syndrome differentiation are taken at the same time.

Drug: Glycosides Of Tripterygium Wilfordii Hook(GTW)Drug: Sulfotanshinone Sodium InjectionDrug: Chinese herbs based on syndrome differentiation

Routine medicine

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Light HSPN:1.Lotensin: 5-10mg/d,12weeks; 2.Low Molecular Weight Heparin(LMWH):100u/kg,2weeks;3.Dipyridamole:3mg/kg/d,Tid,12weeks.4.Chinese medicine placebo,12weeks. Severe HSPN:Add pednisone on the treatment of Light HSPN,and gradually reduce the dosage in 12 weeks,the initial dosage is 2mg/kg/d(maximum to 30mg,4 weeks),continue to reduce the dosage until discontinued(Reduce the dosage at the rate of 5mg every other day in 4-8 weeks,then reduce the dosage at the rate of 5-10mg per week in 8-12weeks)

Drug: Prednisone Acetate TabletsDrug: Benazepril Hydrochloride TabletsDrug: Low Molecular Weight Heparin Calcium InjectionDrug: Dipyridamole Tab 25 MGDrug: Chinese medicine placebo

Interventions

For severe HSPN GTW is 2mg/kg/d for the first 2 weeks , continued with 1.5mg/kg/d (maximum to 90mg/d) for another 2 weeks; For light HSPN GTW is 1.5mg/kg/d(maximum to 90mg/d) for 4 weeks. Both the 2 types are continued with 1mg/kg/d of GTW for another 4 weeks . Besides,Sulfotanshinone Sodium Injection,Qingrezhixue graunles,Chinese herbs by syndrome differentiation are plused at the same time

TCM multistep therapy

Intravenous drip of Sulfotanshinone Sodium Injection with the dosage of 1mg/kg/d(maximum to 50mg), combined with 100-250ml 5% Glucose Solution (G.S) for 2 weeks in both the light and serious type of TCM group.

TCM multistep therapy

For both the light and serious type of HSPN in TCM group,five traditional Chinese medicine patterns of syndrome are classified on the main pathogenesis "Blood Stasis": based on Qingre Zhixue granule,for wind-heat complicated with blood stasis, add Forsythia, Honeysuckle,;for blood-heat complicated with blood stasis,add Buffalo horn,Comfrey; for yin deficiency complicated with blood stasis, add Rhizoma anemarrhenae,Cortex phellodendri;for both qi and yin deficiency complicated with blood stasis,add Astragalus, Heterophylla;for damp-heat complicated with blood stasis,add Scutellaria baicalensis,Lalang Grass Rhizome.

TCM multistep therapy

Prednisone Acetate Tablets are necessary for serious HSPN in controlled group,the initial dosage is 2mg/kg/d(maximum to 30mg,4 weeks),continue to reduce the dosage until discontinued(Reduce the dosage at the rate of 5mg every other day in 4-8 weeks,then reduce the dosage at the rate of 5-10mg per week in 8-12weeks)

Routine medicine

In controlled group, Benazepril Hydrochloride Tablets are used for both the light and serious type with the dosage of 5-10mg/d(10mg/d for children with weight above 30kg) ,12 weeks in total.

Also known as: Lotensin
Routine medicine

In controlled group,Low Molecular Weight Heparin Calcium Injection are used for both the light and serious type with the dosage of 100u/kg/d by hypodermic injection for 2 weeks

Routine medicine

In controlled group,Dipyridamole Tab 25 MG are used for both the light and serious type of HSPN with the dosage of 3mg/kg/d ,3 times a day,12 weeks in total.

Also known as: Persantine
Routine medicine

In controlled group,take a potential necessary for patients who come to the hospital of TCM to take traditional Chinese medicine in consideration, we add the traditional Chinese medicine placebo in controlled group.
