Abstract:
Hepatolenticular degeneration,namely Wilson's disease,an autosomal recessive disorder of copper metabolism.The author of this article gave a definition to toxin-pathogen,discussed the basic concept of collaterals disease briefly.And pointed out that hepatolenticular degeneration is a disease due to toxin-pathogen invading collaterals,which was caused by disorder of copper metabolism.This can result in toxin stagnating in collaterals and stagnation of blood stasis in collaterals in the initial stage,and collaterals injured at last.To improve QI-blood circulation and regulate the function of zang fu is important in order to accelerate elimination of toxin and prevent copper from stagnating. Specific therapy vary according to different clinical symptoms,such as promoting blood circulation for removing obstruction in collaterals and clearing toxin, clearing heat-fire and clearing toxin and dispersing stagnated liver-qi for promoting bile flow et al.
