Treatment of Diabetic Nephropathy based on the Theory of "Interconnection of Phlegm and Stasis"
The nature of diabetic nephropathy is deficiency in origin and excess in excess.It is based on spleen and kid-ney deficiency.Phlegm and blood stasis interact with each other and damage the kidney collaterals."Phlegm and blood stasis interact with each other"is the key to the pathogenesis.The spleen is the foundation of acquired diseases,and the kidneys are the foundation of congenital diseases.The spleen and stomach fail to transport and transform,and the kidneys lose their ability to store and store.Insufficiency of the spleen and kidney affects the transport,transformation and absorption of wa-ter and grain essence,resulting in water retention,fluid transformation into phlegm,phlegm blocking Qi and blood,blood Qi stagnation,and phlegm and blood stasis.However,endogenous phlegm and blood stasis will stagnate the meridians,which will aggravate the damage to the spleen and kidney meridians.It can be seen that the mutual accumulation of phlegm and blood stasis and the deficiency of the spleen and kidneys are cause and effect of each other.Therefore,the traditional Chinese medicine treatment of diabetic nephropathy is based on"tonifying the spleen and kidneys,unblocking collaterals and reduc-ing phlegm,activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis",and also emphasizes"treating both the symptoms and root causes,tonifying deficiency and releasing excess"to restore healthy Qi and dissipate evil Qi,in order to achieve clinical success.Provide reference for traditional Chinese medicine treatment of diabetic nephropathy.
