Can Chinese medicine treat polycystic kidney

summary

My friend's father is 71 years old. He was diagnosed with polycystic kidney disease recently. He used to work in foundry industry for decades. Is there any effective medicine that can relieve the disease? Is there any folk prescription? Let's not do chemotherapy for the time being, because it's very painful. In order to prevent this situation, I'd like to introduce how to treat polycystic kidney with traditional Chinese medicine.

Can Chinese medicine treat polycystic kidney

First, because the treatment course of traditional Chinese medicine is long, some doctors cooperate with the application of Western medicine and surgical treatment, and have achieved satisfactory results.

Second, there is no unified method and standard of TCM Syndrome Differentiation for the treatment of the root cause of the disease. According to the clinical manifestations of polycystic kidney, Zhong Wei [4] divided the disease into early stage, middle stage and late stage, in which the early stage was divided into qi stagnation and blood stasis syndrome, kidney qi not solid syndrome and lower Jiao heat excess syndrome; the middle stage was divided into blood stasis syndrome, liver yang hyperactivity syndrome, essence blood deficiency syndrome and damp heat downpour syndrome; the late stage was divided into positive deficiency and blood stasis syndrome, liver wind internal movement syndrome and drug addiction syndrome. Huang Junwu [5] divided polycystic kidney into three types: dampness and blood stasis, yin deficiency of liver and kidney, obstruction of blood collaterals, accumulation of dampness and heat in lower Jiao, dampness and heat in middle obstruction. Wang Shuijun [6] divided polycystic kidney into four types: Damp heat block type, liver and kidney yin deficiency type, spleen and kidney yang deficiency type, liver and gallbladder stasis type according to the suggestion that "strange disease belongs to phlegm" and "nest bag ruffled bad" belongs to phlegm syndrome in traditional Chinese medicine.

matters needing attention

At present, for the treatment of polycystic kidney, western medicine is lack of effective drugs. Traditional Chinese medicine has unique curative effect according to the conscious symptoms of patients, as well as the different stages of the disease, the deficiency and excess cold and heat of the disease. But in the treatment, we should remember that "we should not forget the deficiency in the treatment of excess, we should pay attention to the deficiency in the treatment of deficiency, we should master the appropriate attack and supplement, so as to avoid eliminating pathogenic factors and injuring the body or supporting the body to retain pathogenic factors". Especially in the later stage of the disease, we should follow the principle of "accumulating a lot, accumulating a lot, it can be committed, and declining most of it".
