Abstract

Objectives: This clinical study is to report Gami-Siryong-tang treatment of edema in a patient with cardiorenal syndrome (CRS). Methods: We used Gami-Siryong-tang, acupuncture, and moxibustion to treat a patient with CRS who had edema as a chief complaint, while the patient was hospitalized for 2 weeks. We observed the changes in symptoms by measuring body weight and calf girth. Results: After treatment, the patient's symptoms including edema and dyspnea, and the general condition were improved. The body weight and calf girth were also reduced after treatment. Conclusion: Korean medicine, including Gami-Siryong-tang, may be useful for treatment of edema due to CRS.
