Summary of the clinical experience for the Sanhuang points and Danggui Shaoyao San in the treatment of hypoproteinemia
Hypoalbuminemia is a common disease in clinical practice.In recent years,its incidence rate has increased.The etiology and pathogenesis of hypoproteinemia are more complex.Elderly people have a higher risk of hypoproteinemia,which may be related to aging,functional decline of digestive system organs and other factors.Patients often suffer from insufficient food intake,poor appetite,dyspepsia and other manifestations,which further lead to the mal absorption of nutrients,and then lead to hypoproteinemia.This disease not only affects the quality of life of patients,but also is not conducive to the recovery of patiem,and has adverse effects on the physical and psychological health of patients.Currently,modern medical treatment of this disease mainly focuses on clinical symptoms and laboratory indicators,with symptomatic support treatment as the main focus.In many years of clinical work,the author is good at diagnosing and treating the disease from the perspective of TCM's overall concept and syndrome differentiation.The author believes that the occurrence of this disease is closely related to the lungs,spleen,kidneys and Sanjiao(三焦),and the disease is caused by spleen deficiency and excessive dampness,blood stasis and water stagnation.In treatment,attention should be paid to the whole,starting from the perspectives of strengthening the spleen,removing dampness,and promoting blood circulation and diuresis.Based on this,the author adopts a combination of acupuncture and medicine to treat hypoalbuminemia.On the basis of Professor HUANG Huang's theory of corresponding prescriptions and syndromes,the traditional classic prescription Danggui Shaoyao San(当归芍药散)is combined with acupuncture treatment.The combination of Danggui Shaoyao San and acupuncture at Sanhuang acupoints has a significant therapeutic effect on hypoalbuminemia,with fewer adverse reactions and high patient satisfaction.This provides a method of combining acupuncture and medicine for the future treatment of such diseases,as well as new ideas for the treatment of diseases with Chinese medicinal matericls and appropriate techniques.It is worth further application in clinical practice.
