With an increasing number of patients suffering from chronic renal failure, the question of how to prolong the period before starting hemodialysis therapy has been attracting great attention. Kremezin® and Daio-Kanzo-To, which have been reported to produce good clinical results, were administered to two patients with chronic renal failure in the preservation phase. When the treatment started, renal function tended to deteriorate, and hemodialysis had to be introduced in both patients. We investigated possible causes of this deterioration, and the effect of the combined use of Kremezin® and Daio-kanzo-To the renal function could not be denied. This combination therapy needs to be studied very carefully.
