Abstract：ZHANG Zhongjing named disorders of fluid metabolism as fluid qi diseases,aiming at to emphasize the disease mechanism rather than the symptoms.Fluid qi diseases include the diseases related to disorders of fluid metabolism.Chronic kidney diseases often manifest as disorders of fluid metabolism.Based on years of clinical experience,Professor YU Renhuan has summarized the experience of diagnosing and treating fluid qi diseases based on the qi-blood-fluid theory,and puts forward that fluid qi diseases should be treated based on different stages according to ZHANG Zhongjing's qi-blood-fluid theory.He holds that qi,blood and fluid originate from the same origin but with different routes,and they can transform into each other and jointly cause diseases.The qi stage,fluid stage and blood stage reflect different disease location of chronic kidney diseases from the exterior to the interior,and also reflect different stages of the diseases from mild to severe.Clinically,with the spleen and kidney as the major targets,the treatment is carried out at different levels such as the qi stage,fluid stage and blood stage.Methods such as invigorating spleen and tonifying kidney,warming yang and replenishing qi,activating yang and transforming qi,draining dampness and promoting diuresis,and activating blood and resolving stasis are applied to treat chronic kidney diseases.According to the characteristics of qi,blood and fluid,two or three methods are often used in combination to ahieve satisfactory effect.Three verified cases are provided for reference.
