People living in urban areas often experience kidney disease due to various factors such as improper diet and high life pressure. For example, chronic nephritis has brought endless pain to countless patients. However, with the continuous progress of medical treatment, surgery for chronic nephritis has become the best choice to cure the disease. However, patients cannot ignore various nursing and recuperation work before and after surgery.
The guiding ideology of traditional Chinese medicine syndrome differentiation and classification is "based on the principle of deficiency as the key, with substance as the objective, focusing on the essence, and combining specimens". At present, the vast majority of scholars believe that chronic nephritis is a syndrome of deficiency and excess. This deficiency mainly refers to the dysfunction of the lungs, spleen, and kidneys, as well as the loss of qi, blood, essence, yin, and yang, reflecting the basic pathological characteristics of chronic nephritis. The actual symptoms are mainly external sensations, water dampness, blood stasis, damp heat, heat toxicity, etc. Reflects the triggering factors for the exacerbation or deterioration of chronic nephritis. In this deficiency, the kidney is the foundation, the lung is the standard, and the spleen is the organ that makes water. The three are interrelated and mutually influencing. Kidney deficiency leads to water flooding, which is contrary to the lungs. If the lung qi does not decrease, it loses its function of regulating water channels, making kidney qi more deficient and exacerbating edema; Spleen deficiency cannot make water, and if water is damp and abundant, it will damage its yang, which can lead to kidney yang failure over time; Kidney yang failure cannot warm and nourish the spleen soil, and both the spleen and kidney are deficient, which can also worsen the condition. There are many studies on exogenous wind pathogenic factors, damp heat, and blood stasis in various standards.
Emphasize the theory of main cause and inducement. Many scholars classify the etiology of this disease into two categories: the main cause and the inducing cause: the main cause is external factors such as wind, cold, and dampness, which lead to deficiency and damage of the lungs, spleen, and kidneys. The inducing factors include seven emotions, alcohol and color, diet, and fatigue. The main cause is the basic pathological factor that leads to the onset of chronic nephritis, while the trigger is the stimulating factor that induces or exacerbates chronic nephritis and its occurrence and development. The occurrence of kidney diseases such as chronic nephritis is caused by various pathogenic factors affecting the kidneys, leading to renal dysfunction and substantial damage. Its clinical manifestations are often characterized by edema and proteinuria, and the key pathogenesis lies in the dysfunction of the kidney in regulating water supply and the failure of the kidney to seal properly. Therefore, the location of chronic nephritis lesions should be centered around the kidneys.
