In maintenance stage of using glucocorticoid, patients present manifesta-tion of yang deficiency of spleen and kidney.So we should warm the kidney and invigorate the spleen.During the whole course of treating, we should also care for blood stasis and toxin.The clinicians should also remove toxic heat and blood stasis depend on the changing of syndrome.
