Treatment of Renal Proteinuria by Traditional Chinese Medicine and Its Mechanism
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) refers to abnormal renal structure and function for more than 3 months
and is characterized by abnormal urine
blood and kidney structure. As an important clinical manifestation of CKD
proteinuria is closely related to glomerular damage. It is not only a pathological manifestation of CKD
but also an important pathological factor to accelerate the development of CKD. After thousands of years of development
traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has a systematic theoretical foundation and rich clinical experience in the treatment of CKD. By referring to the treatment principles and methods of "leakage of vital essence"
"low back pain"
"asthenia"
"blood urine" and "edema" in TCM
the general treatment principle of proteinuria is to coordinate the body Yin and Yang and restore the balance of Yin and Yang. Specific methods include removing blood stasis
sweating
urinating
invigorating the spleen and strengthening the kidney
smoothing liver and activating collaterals
and removing dampness and detoxification. Both ancient and modern physicians have established effective prescriptions according to the treatment principles and methods. Modern studies have showed that the mechanism of TCM to reduce proteinuria is mainly to improve the pathological manifestations of large area fusion of podocyte processes and complete disappearance of poddout
up-regulate the expression of nephrin and podocin
regulate immune
alleviate systemic inflammation
and improve the serum superoxide dismutase(SOD)level and the ability of the body to remove free radicals. The method and mechanism of treating renal proteinuria are discussed from three aspects: classical prescriptions
empirical prescriptions and the Chinese patent medicine. It provides a theoretical reference for the clinical treatment of chronic kidney disease
reducing the excretion of proteinuria and improving the clinical symptoms of the patients.
