Exploring the Correlation Between Chronic Heart Failure and Aquaporins Based on the Theory of"Kidney Storing Essence and Regulating Water"
Chronic heart failure(CHF)is the final stage of the development of various heart diseases in clinic,and the dis-order of fluid metabolism is one of its main clinical manifestations.Therefore,traditional Chinese medicine often classifies CHF as"cardiac fluid""edema"and other diseases for argumentation,discussion and treatment.The theory of"kidney storing es-sence and controlling water"originates from the Yellow Emperor's internal meridian,and is the theoretical basis for traditional medicine to explain the bulk of the human body's water distribution.AQPs is a transmembrane water transport protein,whose main function is to control and regulate the balance of water and fluid metabolism in the body.Through the study of its distribu-tion and function in the body,we can find that it coincides with some theoretical connotation of"kidney governs water".There-fore,this article intends to explore the relationship between chronic heart failure and AQPs based on the theory of"kidney stores essence and water".
