Abstract:
The clinical treatment of IgA nephropathy in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) can be treated from theories of Sanjiao, pharynx and kidney, collateral disease and Shaoyang. The Sanjiao theory declaims to clear away damp heat through the whole process of treatment, the upper Jiao lightening the Qi, the middle Jiao clearing away damp heat, and the lower Jiao collecting astringency, strengthening the kidney and cooling blood. The theory of pharynx and kidney focuses on clearing away heat, detoxifying and making benefit of the pharynx, supplemented by tonifying the kidney and strengthening the spleen. In the treatment of collateral diseases, it is considered that the disease is caused by the external invasion of disease pathogens or the damage of the vein caused by the influence of evil Qi. The treatment should be combined with strengthening the right and eliminating evil, and paying attention to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. The disease is caused by pooring Qi mechanism of Sanjiao and evil invading Shaoyang. The above TCM systems showed different treatment, but they all improve symptoms, reduce urinary protein quantification, improve quality of life with less adverse events.
