Abstract
Objectives
The present study reports a case of chronic anemia patient who was significantly improved after taking Nokyongdaebo-tang (NYDBT)
Methods
A 48-year-old male patient diagnosed with iron deficiency anemia (IDA) visited the Daejeon Korean medicine Hospital of Daejeon University on June 2018. The patient was treated with Korean medicine for 23 months including acupuncture, herbal medicine and Sasang constitutional medicine prescription. Improvement of anemia was assessed by changes of Hemoglobin value. Laboratory analysis was used to evaluate the safety of treatment.
Results
Chronic anemia has significantly improved since taking NYDBT on 9 days (2019.12.09–2019.12.17). The Hb value has been maintained in the normal range since it first entered the normal range on January 18, 2020. The patient had become transfusion-free and this condition persisted for 6 months after stopping the transfusion.
Conclusion
This case demonstrates the therapeutic potential of Sasang constitutional medicine for chronic anemia as a personalized medicine.
