Syndrome differentiation and treatment of pulmonary fibrosis from the perspective of simultaneous treatment of the lung and the kidney
Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is characterized by progressive dyspnea
cough
and hypoxemia. TCM theories believe the occurrence and progress of PF are always inseparable from the lung and kidney
so the simultaneous dysfunction of the two organs is one of the crucial features of the disease. This study explores the lung-kidney correlation in PF based on the theory of visceral manifestation
which reveals that lung deficiency is the primary cause and the kidney deficiency is an important pathogenic factor. Pathogenesis and etiology of PF means: dysfunction of wei qi (defensive qi)
abnormalities in the ascending and descending of qi
and blood stasis and phlegm coagulation caused by lung and kidney deficiency. Syndrome differentiation and treatment include: for the deficiency of both lung and kidney
it is advisable to suffice and nourish the both to control the deficient and floating qi; for the mixture of deficiency and excess in both organs
it is appropriate to supplement deficiency to relieve the excessive syndrome; for the pattern of kidney deficiency and lung excess
it is suggested to supplement the kidney and to clear the lung
to control the counterflow of Chong qi (from the Chong meridian); for the kidney deficiency due to evil persistence
it is better to warm the kidney to disperse the exterior
to banish the evil of external disturbance. Generally
we should focus on dispelling stasis
resolving toxin and clearing heat; emphasizing the integration of the five zang organs throughout the treatment
and finally restoring the qi-governing function of the lung.
