The ANAE reaction of the peripheral blood from 24 patients of chronic glomerulonephritis (grouped according to the identification of TCM) and 30 normal individuals were observed by cytochemistry and microspectrophotometry. It was found that the percentages of positive lymphocytes of the deficiency of Kidney-Yin was 47.8 +/- 7.6%, among which the percentages of lymphocytes of spot granular pattern and scattered granular pattern were 42.4 +/- 6.3% and 5.4 +/- 2.2% respectively, the ANAE relative quality of monocytes of the deficiency of Kidney-Yin was 51.26 +/- 2.59. They were 39.7 +/- 7.4%, 31.2 +/- 5.8%, 8.5 +/- 2.7% and 41.84 +/- 2.66 respectively in the deficiency of Kidney-Yang. The results of normal group were 65.5 +/- 6.8%, 53.6 +/- 6.7%, 11.9 +/- 3.4% and 54.78 +/- 3.34 in their given order. The differences in three groups each other were marked significantly. The authors have found the difference between the patients of chronic glomerulonephritis and the normal individuals was significant statistically.
