Abstract:
Guided by Zhang Zhongjing's axiom that"blood stasis induces water",this study develops stage-specific treatment strategies for edema in Kidney Consumption Disorder by examining its four-stage pathogenic progression:Sluggish Flow → Stagnant Obstruction → Depressed Accumulation → Stasis Congelation.We propose an integrated approach that reinforces the root by warming the kidney and replenishing essence,while addressing the branch by activating blood circulation and promoting diuresis.Stage-specific interventions include:for the Sluggish Flow Phase,warming and tonifying kidney Yang combined with unblocking Yang to promote uri-nation;for the Stagnant Obstruction Phase,warming the kidney and replenishing essence supported by activating blood circulation and freeing the collateral channels;for the Depressed Accumulation Phase,quickening blood and resolving stasis,regulating Qi and trans-forming turbidity,along with warming the kidney and strengthening essence;and for the Stasis Congelation Phase,expelling stagnant accumulations while simultaneously regulating essence and blood.This framework advances novel pattern-determined strategies for Kid-ney Consumption edema management.
