Abstract

Objective : This study was performed to investigate the effect of Astragali Radix on leukocytopenia anaphysis with carcinostatic substance elicitation. Methods : We observe if there were differences in a general tendency by EAR (AR extracts) capacity in the Astragali Radix treated group and the cyclophosphamide treated group, a general tendency of recovery from leukocytopenia over lime and checked for liver and kidney toxicity. Results : In cyclophosphamide treated with EAR 1000mg/kg group, the recovery rate of leukocytopenia increased and there were no differences in liver and kidney functions. Conclusions : Astragali Radix was effective and safe in increasing rate of leukocytopenia anaphysis with carcinostatic substance elicitation and indicated possibility for clinically adaptation.
