Application Examples of Modified Xuefu Zhuyu Decoction in the Treatment of Paraneumonic Pleural Effusion
Xuefu Zhuyu Decoction is from the book Yi Lin Gai Cuo compiled by Wang Qingren,a famous physician in the Qing Dynasty,and the original decoction is intended to"treat blood stasis in the chest".Modern medical practitioners have flexibly used this decoction to treat multi-system diseases.Paraneumonic pleural effusion belongs to the category of"Xuanyin"(fluid retention)in TCM.Chief physician Xie Wei,based on the theory of"water disease and blood",believes that the main cause of pneumonia pleural effusion is the mutual accumulation of yin and blood stasis.When treating symptoms,it is necessary to focus on promoting blood circulation and resolving stasis,as well as purging the lungs and promoting yin.Therefore,the treatment with modified Xuefu Zhuyu Decoction is effective and confirmed.A medical case was attached in the article.
