Correlation between Traditional Chinese Medicine Symptom Patterns and the Renal Function, Immunologic Function Index, and Blood Coagulation Index in Patients with Henoch-Schönlein Purpura Nephritis

Table 6

Mean quantitative value of blood-coagulating indexes in 262 HSPN patients with different TCM patterns of symptoms (mean ± SD).

Pattern	PT (s)	APTT (s)	FIB (g/L)	D-D (ug/ml)
Dampness-heat accumulation
Liver-kidney yin deficiency
Qi and yin deficiency
Blood-heat bleeding

Note. TCM: traditional Chinese medicine; HSPN: Henoch-Schönlein purpura nephritis; APTT: activated partial thromboplastin time; D-D: D-dimer; PT: prothrombin time; FIB: fibrinolysis. shows less than 4 times higher than normal reference value; shows more than 4 times higher than the normal reference value. Range of normal value in coagulation function indexes: PT: 11–15 s; APTT: 28–45 s; FIB: 2–4 g/L; D-D: 0.01–0.5 ug/ml.
