Professor Kuang Jianjun's Experience in Treating Gouty Arthritis from Hidden Pathogen to Fire Theory
This article summarizes the clinical experience of Professor Kuang Jianjun in treating gouty arthritis from the aspects of etiology,pathogenesis and staging.Professor Kuang Jianjun pointed out that this disease is similar to hidden pathogen.In the inactive period,the vital Qi is the root cause of disease,and the pathogenic Qi is the manifestation cause of disease.At the onset of the disease,the hidden pathogen is transformed into fire by external influences,resulting in red-ness,swelling,heat and pain symptoms..Clinically,the inactive phase is divided into syndrome of hidden pathogen in three zang viscera,syndrome of internal cold,syndrome of phlegm-dampness due to spleen deficiency,static blood syndrome,ac-cording to the characteristics of different types of evidence,it should be strengthening vital Qi,warming cold,invigorating spleen,promoting blood circulation for removing blood stasis,etc.The hidden pathogen should be clearing heat and remo-ving toxicity during the period of fire transformation,and at the same time,with external treatment,the clinical efficacy is excellent.
