Clinical observation on osteoporosis treated with traditional kidney-tonifying medicaments

J Tradit Chin Med. 1994 Mar;14(1):41-4.

Abstract

The method of scoring kidney deficiency symptoms and bone density was used to judge therapeutic efficacy on osteoporosis of traditional kidney-tonifying drugs. It was proved that the drugs not only improved clinical symptoms but also delayed the developmental process of this disorder. It also verified the correctness of the traditional theory that the kidney dominates the bone and generates the marrow.
