Abstract:
Gouty arthritis is a clinical common joint disease caused by metabolic disorder. TCM therapy has unique advantages, such as good efficacy and few adverse reactions. Professor WEI Zi-xiao advocates differential treatment for this disease. In his opinion, acute gouty arthritis is equivalent to TCM damp-heat arthralgia, and therapy of eliminating dampness and heat should be used. During the intermission, therapy of reinforcing spleen and nourishing kidney is appropriate because of deficiency of them. Deficiency of liver and kidney and phlegm and blood stasis are basic pathogenesis in chronic phase of the disease, therefore, activating blood, reducing phlegm and nourishing liver and kidney should be adopted. In addition, Professor WEI pays attention to pharmacological research achievement of TCM, disease differentiation and life and diet regulating in treatment of the disease.
