Exploration on the Correlation between"Dampness","Blood Stasis","Deficiency"and Gout from the Theory of Incubative Pathogenic Factors
Incubative pathogenic factors is a disease that accumulate in the body without occurring,and the theory of incubative pathogenic factors can explain the etiology,pathogenesis,and clinical manifestations of various diseases.Gout is a heterogeneous metabolic disease caused by purine metabolism disorders,and it is of great significance to explain the pathological basis of gout using the theory of incubative pathogenic factors.Dysfunction of the spleen and kidney,with dampness,turbidity,and blood stasis hidden within the body,affects the occurrence,development,and prognosis of gout.The characteristics of gout,characterized by hidden onset,repeated attacks,and damage to the organs,are consistent with the pathogenic process of incubative pathogenic factors.Therefore,based on the characteristics of gout,this article took the theory of incubative pathogenic factors as the starting point to discuss the correlation between"dampness","blood stasis",and"deficiency"and gout,and established the treatment methods of promoting dampness and turbidity to dispel pathogenic factors,promoting blood circulation and resolving stasis to unblock collaterals,and regulating and tonifying the spleen and kidney to support the body.According to this,medication and prescriptions were selected to seek the root cause of the disease.
