Shuanghuanglian injection (SHLI) has been widely used for administration with cephalosporin in China for long time. The objective of this study was to evaluate the pharmacological properties and biochemical changes of cefepime combined with SHLI. The SD rats included were received either an intravenous (iv. 4 mL/kg) dose of normal saline, or intravenous (iv. 0.74, 0.37, 0.185 g/kg, respectively) doses of SHLI once daily for 7 days. After last administration, cefepime (0.41 g/kg) was intravenous injected to the animals. The serum and urine samples were acquired and stored at 4 °C. They were used for quantitative determination of urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine (CRE), urine protein, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and N-acetyl-B-d-glucosaminidase (NAG).
