Chronic kidney disease is an significant disease in Taiwan with high incidence, high prevalence and high medical expenses. Chinese medicine treats chronic kidney disease on the basis of symptoms. Since ancient times, there have been many records and experiences of traditional Chinese medicine for treating kidney disease, which can help a lot in the treatment of chronic kidney disease in modern time. The patient was a 60-year-old man with history of hypertension, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia. He visited in our hospital in the Department of Nephrology in 2009. The biopsy was taken and the results showed membranous nephropathy and diabetic nephropathy. Because his condition did not obviously improve, he turned to Chinese medicine Department for help in 2013/04/22. It is speculated that primary membranous nephropathy leads to poor renal function in patients. After the treatment of traditional Chinese medicine, renal function, proteinuria, edema and backache has improved. This case can be used as a reference for the treatment of chronic kidney disease by clinical Chinese and Western doctors.
