Correlations of Characteristics of Kidney Yang Deficiency Syndrome with Clinical Indicators and Risk Factors of Chronic Kidney Disease增强出版
To study the correlations of the characteristics of kidney Yang deficiency syndrome in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) with clinical indicators and to explore the risk factors of kidney Yang deficiency in CKD.
Method
2
The differentiation of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome classified the 225 CKD patients who met the inclusion criteria into two groups: one group of kidney Yang deficiency syndrome (99 patients) and one group of non-kidney Yang deficiency syndrome (126 patients). The symptoms, tongue manifestation, pulse manifestation, and accompanied symptoms of the kidney Yang deficiency syndrome group were recorded. The syndrome characteristics were summarized by factor analysis and clustering analysis. The levels of hemoglobin
red blood cell count
urinary protein
urinary glucose
creatinine
urea nitrogen and glomerular filtration rate were compared between the kidney Yang deficiency syndrome group
the non-kidney Yang deficiency syndrome group and the normal control group by ANOVA and non-parametric test. The binary logistic regression model was employed to analyze the correlations of lifestyle, body mass index (BMI) with syndrome.
Result
2
The high-frequency symptoms of CKD patients with kidney Yang deficiency syndrome were waist pain, fear of cold, favor of warm, lethargy, fear of cold at waist and knees, etc. The patients mainly presented deep pulse, thready pulse, or weak pulse, and the tongue with white coating, greasy coating, or thin coating. A total of 13 common factors were obtained, which can be classified into 5 categories. The patients with kidney Yang deficiency syndrome mainly had symptoms in limbs (especially lower limbs), chest, bladder, fleshy exterior, and stomach, with the main manifestations of deficiency-cold, Qi deficiency, fluid retention, and blood stasis. The clustering analysis classified the patients into 11 categories, which reflected that kidney Yang deficiency syndrome mainly presented the symptoms of Qi deficiency, blood stasis, and fluid retention, with fleshy exterior, limbs, spleen, stomach, ears, mind, and bladder involved. The results of clustering analysis and factor analysis were consistent, both of which indicated that the patients were weak with deficiency-cold, accompanied by fluid retention and blood stasis. Frequency analysis also showed that common symptoms mainly included Qi deficiency, fluid retention, cold-dampness, and blood stasis. Compared with the non-kidney Yang deficiency group, the kidney Yang deficiency group showed a large proportion of patients in stage 3-5 CKD, elevated urea nitrogen (
P
<
0.05), decreased glomerular filtration rate, hemoglobin, and red blood cell count (
P
<
0.05), and increased qualitative grade of urine protein. In addition, the results of regression analysis showed that female, little or no exercise, and diet preference were the risk factors for kidney Yang deficiency syndrome in CKD (
P
<
0.05).
Conclusion
2
The disease location and manifestations have correspondence in the CKD patients with kidney Yang deficiency syndrome. The TCM symptoms are correlated with clinical indicators. Hemoglobin, red blood cell count, glomerular filtration rate, urea nitrogen, and urine protein can reflect the connotation of kidney Yang deficiency syndrome in CKD to a certain extent. Additionally, related risk factors in life can affect the occurrence of kidney Yang deficiency syndrome in CKD.
