Treatment Principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Western Medicine for Kidney Disease

From the perspective of treatment principles, traditional Chinese medicine adopts methods such as protecting the kidneys, tonifying the kidneys, warming the kidneys, diuresis, dispelling dampness, detoxification, etc., while Western medicine adopts methods such as protecting kidney function, protecting residual renal units, anti-infection, diuresis, and reducing swelling. The two treatment approaches and principles share the same goal.

In summary, traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine are essentially consistent in their understanding of the kidney's regulation of water and the normal metabolism of fluids. Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes holistic observation, dialectical thinking, and clinical practice research, providing a systematic basis for understanding the physiological and pathological laws of kidney regulating water. Modern Chinese medicine has made some progress in the substantive research of kidney regulating water. The thinking of Western medicine is based on practical research, utilizing modern science and technology to objectively and microscopically understand the kidney, and developing to understand the kidney at the cellular and molecular levels. This article discusses the physiological function, pathological manifestations, and treatment principles of the kidney from different perspectives and methods, enriching the understanding of the pathological physiology of the kidney and improving the clinical level of kidney disease treatment.
