This is a multicenter, double-blind randomized controlled study to assess the efficacy and safety of Jinshuibao for patients with CKD due to glomerulonephritis, with a planned follow-up of 48 weeks.
Previous studies have shown that cordyceps sinensis can act on several immune response pathways. Jinshuibao capsule, which is composed of fermented cordyceps sinensis powder (Cs-4) , has shown therapeutic effects in chronic kidney disease (CKD) according to small sample exploratory studies. Here, we conduct a prospective, double-blind randomized controlled study to assess the efficacy and safety of Jinshuibao for patients with CKD due to glomerulonephritis.
