It is well known that the treatment of chronic nephritis, uremia, and other kidney diseases is very difficult and has a long course, which is recognized as a difficult disease in the world medical community. So once suffering from chronic nephritis and other kidney diseases, does it mean that effective treatment cannot be carried out? Next, we will introduce the syndrome differentiation and classification of chronic nephritis treated by traditional Chinese medicine, hoping that everyone can find the answer from it.
Five types of chronic nephritis, namely, deficiency of both qi and yin, deficiency of yang in the spleen and kidney, deficiency of yin in the liver and kidney, deficiency of qi and blood stasis, and deficiency of dampness and turbidity in the kidney, were respectively treated with Shenmai Dihuang Decoction, Zhenwu Decoction and Shipi Decoction, Zhibai Dihuang Decoction, Buyang Huanwu Decoction, and Yishen Jiedu Decoction. The disease is divided into four types: deficiency of spleen and kidney yang, deficiency of liver and kidney yin, deficiency of lung and kidney qi, and deficiency of both qi and yin. They are respectively treated with Spleen Strengthening Drink, Dihuang Yinzi, Huangmao Buqi Decoction, and Shengmai Powder. Divided into three types: spleen and kidney deficiency, spleen deficiency and dampness turbidity, liver and kidney yin deficiency, respectively administered to Sijunzi Decoction, Wuquan Powder, Ginseng Guipi Decoction, and Yiyi Decoction, and added or subtracted according to the syndrome. Both have achieved good curative effects. The disease is divided into three types: spleen and kidney yang deficiency, spleen deficiency and dampness stagnation, and qi stagnation and blood stasis. The treatment with Huangmi Buzhong Decoction, Shenye Baizhu Powder, Sijunzi Decoction, and Shenyan Huayu Decoction has achieved high efficiency. Aiming at the regulation of adrenocortical hormone use in glomerular diseases and its impact on the changes of traditional Chinese medicine syndromes, an effective method of combining traditional Chinese and Western medicine based on different stages of hormone use was established.
In the initial stage of hormone treatment, patients mainly have the syndrome of yin deficiency and excessive fire, and use the method of nourishing yin and reducing fire in combination with traditional Chinese medicine. In the decrement stage, the TCM syndrome type changes from yin deficiency to yang deficiency and becomes either qi yin deficiency or yin yang deficiency. At this time, on the basis of continuing to use yin nourishing and kidney tonifying drugs, appropriate addition of qi warming drugs such as Yuansizi, Xianling Spleen, Cynomorium songaricum, Morindra officinalis, and Roucongrong is required. Or add tonic drugs such as Codonopsis pilosula and Huangmao for treatment. In the maintenance treatment stage, the syndrome of deficiency of spleen and kidney qi or yang deficiency occurs, and the key points are to replenish qi, tonify the kidney, and strengthen the spleen. The method of identifying the main syndrome with deficiency and identifying the syndrome with excess was adopted to divide chronic nephritis into pre and post stages. The early syndrome differentiation is divided into liver and kidney deficiency syndrome, spleen and kidney yang deficiency syndrome, and yin and yang deficiency syndrome. Concurrent syndromes include: liver stagnation and qi stagnation, blood stasis, dampness and heat blockage, phlegm and dampness retention, and exogenous heat toxicity. The later syndrome differentiation includes qi and blood yin deficiency, stagnation of turbid toxin due to qi and blood yang deficiency, stagnation of turbid toxin due to both qi and blood yin and yang deficiency, and stagnation of turbid toxin due to internal stagnation. Concurrent symptoms include: gastrointestinal stagnation, turbid poison causing blood damage, water poisoning the heart and lungs, liver wind internal movement, and poison attacking the pericardium. The treatment of chronic nephritis with this method has achieved good results.
Generally, when patients with chronic kidney disease go to a doctor, they are often told to avoid exercise as much as possible and to rest in bed. In fact, bed rest is not very conducive to the recovery of rheumatoid arthritis. Long term bed rest can hinder the circulation of qi and blood, is not conducive to kidney detoxification, makes the body increasingly weak, and is even detrimental to the overall recovery of chronic nephritis.
