Renal interstitial fibrosis(RIF)is a common pathway for the progression of chronic kidney disease to renal failure,and its pathogenesis is mainly related to renal inflammatory damage,oxidative stress,apoptosis,and excessive extracellular matrix(ECM) deposition. Transforming growth factor-β1(TGF-β1) signaling pathway,mammalian target of rapamycin(mTOR) signaling pathway and other signaling pathways mediate the occurrence and development of RIF. Because of the complicated mechanism of RIF,there have been no specific prevention and treatment measures in clinical practice. Autophagy is a non-damaging response produced by eukaryotic cells. It maintains the balance of tissue homeostasis through degradation and reabsorption. At present, Chinese medicine has achieved desirable clinical effects with its unique advantages of multiple components,multiple effects,and multiple targets in the treatment of chronic kidney disease to delay the process of RIF. Scholars have found that autophagy is consistent with the Yin-Yang theory and the theory of abdominal mass in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) to a certain extent,and it is involved in many aspects of RIF. The progression of RIF is closely related to autophagy. The targeted therapy of RIF by intervention in autophagy has become the frontier of research. However,little is known about the role of autophagy in RIF and the regulation of autophagy by Chinese medicine in the treatment of RIF. Therefore,it is necessary to further elucidate the relationship between autophagy and RIF in order to clarify the mechanism of autophagy in RIF and the mechanism of Chinese medicine regulating autophagy in targeted therapy of RIF. This article focused on the correlation between autophagy and RIF based on TCM theory,and systematically summarized the role of autophagy in RIF and the intervention of Chinese medicine by combining the effects of autophagy on inflammation damage,oxidative stress,apoptosis,and excessive ECM deposition in RIF, and the regulation mechanism of autophagy in TGF-β1 and mTOR signaling pathways in RIF. This study was expected to provide a certain reference for the clinical treatment of RIF and the development of new drugs.

Chronic renal failure (CRF), a common outcome of various chronic kidney diseases, is characterized by retention of metabolites and toxins, water-electrolyte imbalance, acid-base disturbance, and various symptoms in diverse systems. The incidence and progression of this disease are influenced by many factors, particularly the change of intestinal flora. Previous research shows that the intestinal flora interacts with CRF. For CRF patients, the metabolic waste fails to be cleared in time due to the gradual decline of renal function and thus accumulates in vivo. Moreover, CRF changes the composition of intestinal flora, damages intestinal barrier, and accelerates the synthesis of intestinal uremic toxins and the accumulation in blood. As a result, the renal injury is aggravated. The imbalance of intestinal flora can induce acute kidney injury, increase cardiovascular complications, stimulate immune inflammatory responses, and thus aggravate the progression of CRF. Microbiota-targeted therapy for CRF has become the research focus. According to traditional Chinese medicine, kidney disease is related to the intestine and kidney disease should be treated from the intestine. Spleen and kidney are in the closest relationship with the pathogenesis of CRF and the intestinal flora. Chinese medicine, which features multiple targets, multiple effects, and multiple components, acts on the "gut-kidney axis". It is thus superior in the clinical treatment of CRF and the regulation of intestinal flora. To be specific, it intervenes in intestinal flora to delay the process of CRF. In this paper, based on the correlation of traditional Chinese medicine theory with intestinal flora and CRF, this paper reviewed the interaction between intestinal flora and CRF and traditional Chinese medicine intervention in the intestinal flora for the treatment of CRF, which is expected to serve as a reference for the clinical treatment of this disease and the drug development.

Renal interstitial fibrosis (RIF) is the main pathological feature of chronic kidney disease caused by a variety of factors. "Kidney deficiency and blood stasis in collateral, miniature mass of renal collateral" is the main pathogenesis of RIF. The deficiency of healthy Qi will influence the kidney Qi, resulting in kidney deficiency and unsmooth qi transformation. As a result, phlegm, heat, stasis, toxin and other excess pathogens block the kidney collaterals, forming miniature masses. The masses accumulate in the renal collaterals, finally leading to RIF. Autophagy is a key process that keeps your body's cells in proper balance by taking aged or damaged components in a cell and recycling them. It is involved in the occurrence and development of RIF. The metabolism of excess pathogens such as phlegm, heat, stasis, and toxin in vivo is related to the degradation and reabsorption of autophagy. Autophagy is a way to eliminate phlegm, heat, stasis, toxin and other excess pathogens. Autophagy dysfunction will cause the accumulation of phlegm, heat, blood stasis, toxin and other excess pathogens, further the stasis of the kidney collaterals, miniature mass in kidney, and finally RIF. Kidney deficiency and blood stasis in collateral are the root cause of autophagy dysfunction, and the miniature mass of renal collateral is the manifestation of autophagy dysfunction. Autophagy dysfunction and miniature mass of renal collateral have the same pathological evolution. In this paper, based on the pathogenesis of "kidney deficiency and blood stasis in collateral, miniature mass of renal collateral" of RIF and RIF-autophagy relationship, this paper discusses the "kidney deficiency and blood stasis in collateral-autophagy dysfunction-miniature mass of renal collateral" relationship in RIF and comprehensively interprets the scientific connotation of the pathogenesis of "kidney deficiency and blood stasis in collateral, miniature mass of renal collateral", which is expected to lay a basis for explaining the role of autophagy in TCM theory and for the treatment of RIF and research on the mechanism.
