- Abstract: This article is based on ZHANG Jingyue's theory of yin-yang holism to explore the etiology, pathogenesis, and treatment of acute exacerbation of rheumatoid arthritis-associated interstitial lung disease (RA-ILD). It is believed that the foundation of acute exacerbation of RA-ILD lies in real yin insufficiency and yin fail to control yang; external pathogen attacking is a common cause of acute exacerbation of RA-ILD. For treatment, it is important to first suppress ministerial fire by prescribing modified Yinhuo Decoction (引火汤); if ministerial fire submerged, focus should be on nourishing both yin and yang; if real yin deficiency is the main issue, modified Zuogui Pill (左归丸) should be used; if real yang deficiency is prominent as well, modified Yougui Pill (右归丸) can be chosen. When yin and yang balanced, the disease could be solved.
