Abstract:
This article summarizes professor LIU Guangzhen's clinical experience in treating diabetic kidney disease （DKD） using the"four methods of unblocking collaterals". It is believed that the disease location of DKD centers around renal collaterals， with wind-damp turbidity and stasis obstructing the renal collaterals being the core pathogenesis. The four methods of unblocking collaterals are proposed to treat the disease which include expelling wind， dispelling dampness， draining turbid and dissolving stasis to unblock collaterals， and Tangshen Tongluo Formula （糖肾通络方） is designed as a basic prescription. In clinical practice， when applying the four methods of unblocking collaterals， it is necessary to adjust the treatment according to the dominance of wind， dampness， turbid， or stasis， and to flexibly choose the appropriate medication based on syndrome differentiation.
