Abstract：Professor NIE Lifang believes that chronic renal failure falls under the category of obstruction and repulsion in traditional Chinese medicine(TCM),and she divides it into two stages:deficiency and damage stage and obstruction and repulsion stage,and puts forward a TCM diagnostic and therapeutic model that combines disease differentiation,phase differentiation,syndrome differentiation and symptom differentiation.Professor NIE believes that the primary causes of obstruction and repulsion are the inherent deficiency of the spleen and kidney,the depletion of the body's vital energy,and the subsequent invasion of external pathogens or overwork.The pathogenesis involves multiple organ systems being affected,asthenia healthy qi and sthenia pathogenic factor and a combination of deficiency and excess.In the treatment process,equal importance is given to addressing both the root causes and the symptoms,adhering to the underlying pathogenic mechanisms while maintaining a consistent treatment regimen.Additionally,there is an emphasis on the relationships between the organs and the changes in the balance between the body's healthy state and pathogenic factors,preventing the progression of the disease.Focusing on the common syndrome types during the deficiency and obstruction and repulsion stages of chronic renal failure as the main line,timely management of common complications of chronic renal failure,balancing consistency and adaptability in treatment often achieve good results positive outcomes,which are further proved by clinical case studies.
