The Etiology, Pathogenesis, and Clinical Manifestations of Kidney Dysfunction in Regulating Water

Clinical doctors discuss about kidney dysfunction in regulating water. Initially, it is often caused by the invading exogenous wind-evil, resulting in wind-cold or wind-heat. When it enters the body, it transforms into heat toxin, causing imbalance of Yin and Yang in the body, deficiency of kidney YangQi, loss of kidney Yin, and abnormal transformation of kidney Qi and Heat so as to result in insufficient spleen Yang, loss of circulation and regulation, dysfunction of the lung’s regulating waterways, loss of opening and closing of the kidneys, accumulation of water and dampness in the body, and even overflowing skin to form edema.

If the kidney loses the role of vaporization for a long time, the essence in the turbid cannot rise again, and the turbid in the turbid cannot fall in the bladder, and the water-dampness will stagnate into wet turbidity, forming water poison and retention in the body, which is the pathogenesis of water poison retention in renal failure. Kidney Qi deficiency and kidney failing to store can be observed clinically, including oliguria or polyuria, enuresis, incomplete dribbling of urine, weak urination, urinary incontinence, frequent urination, nocturia, retention of urine, difficulty in urination and nausea, and other symptoms. If the kidney Yang does not rise, the heart yang also does not rise, the Yang Qi is deficient and weakened, the water and cold do not dissolve, and it flows up to the heart so as to cause palpitations, wheezing, edema, and other symptoms of water Qi affecting the heart. If there is improper diet, occasional joy and anger, and irregular deficiency cold, it can lead to kidney deficiency, bladder dampness and heat, frequent urination, burning and dripping urine. This disease is located in the kidneys and bladder, due to damp heat and internal kidney deficiency.
