Traditional Chinese Medicine Discusses the Treatment of Chronic Nephritis Based on Lung Syndrome Differentiation

Chronic nephritis patients not only have to endure physical pain, but also mental torment. They often experience complications such as edema and pain, and the disease can last for several years or decades without being cured. With the continuous improvement of medical level, traditional Chinese medicine has become the best method for treating chronic nephritis. I hope everyone can have some understanding of chronic nephritis.

In the treatment of chronic nephritis, special attention is paid to the treatment of the lungs. Five commonly used methods in clinical practice are: the method of dispersing wind, promoting lung function, and promoting diuresis; The method of lowering lung, regulating qi, and promoting diuresis; Qingfei Jiedu Liyan method; The method of supplementing qi, consolidating health, infiltrating benefits; Runfei Ziyin Qingli method. Based on the complex pathogenesis of chronic kidney disease, promote the treatment methods of promoting lung qi, cooling blood and resolving stasis, and nourishing yin and supporting pathogenic factors. The significance of treating nephritis from the lung is multifaceted, and combined with clinical evidence, it seems to have multiple effects such as regulating fluid metabolism, resisting allergic reactions, preventing and controlling infections, and enhancing the body's disease resistance to promote the recovery of diseased organs. In the treatment of ulcers and toxins that invade the kidneys, such as skin sores and boils, mild swelling appears, low fever persists, loss of appetite, yellowing, pulse count, light coating, and reddish tongue, the method of cooling and penetrating is proposed. It is believed that the key to hydration lies in qi, and qi promotes water circulation. Following the Ming Dynasty's Zhang Jingyue's principle of "treating swelling first, water must be treated first, and those who make water must first treat qi", qi promoting substances were added to the spleen strengthening formula.

When treating edema in chronic nephritis with the principle of tonifying the spleen, it is believed that the generation of edema is related to the lungs, spleen, and kidneys, with the spleen and kidney as the center. Clinical treatment can be divided into three types: one is the type of spleen yang deficiency and internal stagnation of water dampness; The second type is kidney yang deficiency and failure, with Qi not transforming into water; The third is the external attack of wind evil, which is the type of lung qi obstruction. It is believed that edema starts from the lower part, overflows on the upper part, is lingering and does not heal, with oliguria and protein leakage being common features of primary chronic nephritis. The main method is to replenish the spleen, which means "building the central area to transport the four sides".
