Application of the method of warming yang to remove accumulation in managing primary membranous nephropathy based on"yang transforms into qi,while yin constitutes form"
Membranous nephropathy with unknown causes is classified as primary membranous nephropathy(PMN),falling within the category of shuizhong(edema)in TCM.The theory of"yang transforms into qi,while yin constitutes form"originates from the Su Wen·Yin Yang Ying Xiang Da Lun Pian(Plain Questions·Comprehensive Discourse on Phenomena Corresponding to Yin and Yang)of Huangdi Neijing,providing a highly summarized understanding of the characteristics of yin and yang."Yang transforms into qi"and"yin constitutes form"represent the two forms of movement for yin and yang.Essence,blood,and body fluids are turned into energy through the transformation into qi by yang,while the generation of essence,blood,and body fluids through qi transformation is inseparable from the form-constituting role of yin.Both aspects not only serve as mutual energy sources but also complement each other,maintaining human physiological functions.Insufficiency in the yang aspect and excessive activity of yin result in the accumulation of tangible substances such as phlegm,fluid,water dampness,and blood stasis.This leads to the pathological state of yang deficiency syndrome,which is the key pathogenesis of PMN.The method of warming yang and transforming accumulations is the primary treatment approach.This paper introduces the clinical application of this method in treating PMN based on the theory of"yang transforms into qi,while yin constitutes form",with clinical cases.
