Abstract:
Traditional four examinations of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） are based on the symptoms and signs of patients， which are the advantages of TCM but also have shortcomings. Chronic kidney disease has the characteristics of insidiousness， long-term， deficiency and variability during its onset， which are difficult to be intervened in time based on only symptoms， therefore it is necessary to extend the application of the four examinations in the diagnosis and treatment process of chronic kidney disease. Based on the background of the continuous development of TCM syndrome differentiation techniques， this article proposed the extension and application strategies of the traditional four examinations in chronic kidney disease， including the incorporation of microscopic syndrome differentiation to identify the causes of kidney disease and prevent symptom deterioration； the utilization of accurate examination information enhanced by artificial intelligence for controlling development of existing disease； the integration of disease differentiation and syndrome differentiation to summarize clinical rules towards using constant to measure variation； and the establishment of a kidney disease database for the storage of four examinations information to prevent recurrence after recovery. The four above extension and application strategies can be used to achieve the long-term management and treatment effects of timely and early diagnosis， dynamic observation of the condition， accurate application of intervention， and strengthened prognosis assessment in the diagnosis and treatment of chronic kidney disease， and expand the advantages of TCM in the prevention and treatment of chronic kidney disease.
