慢性肾脏病3期中医临床证型规律探讨

This study was aimed to investigate the distribution pattern of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome in patients of chronic kidney disease stage 3 (CKD3) to provide a basis for the standardization of integrative medicine in diagnosis and treatment of CKD3. Multicentric epidemiological field survey was adopted to collect the materials of 154 patients in CKD3, including demography, TCM syndrome for exploring the distribution pattern of TCM syndrome. The results showed that there are four basic patterns in CKD3, such as kidney qi-yin deficiency, blood stasis, wind damp and damp heat. The pattern of kidney qi-yin deficiency covers nearly all patients. The first pattern is the combination of qi-yin deficiency, blood stasis, wind damp, and damp heat (29.8%), the other patterns are the combination of qi-yin deficiency, blood stasis, and wind damp (22.7%), the combination of qi-yin deficiency, blood stasis, wind damp (16.2%), the combination of qi-yin deficiency, wind damp, and damp heat (11%). It was concluded that the Chinese medical patterns of kidney qi-yin deficiency, blood stasis, wind damp and damp heat have significant correlation with CKD3 patients.
