Abstract：Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody(ANCA)-associated vasculitis is an immune system disorder whose etiology remains unclear.Professor YIN Guofu believes that the onset of the disease is closely related to dampness,heat,blood stasis and deficiency.The nature of the disease is essentially deficiency with excess symptoms,and the affected organs are the lung,spleen and kidney.In clinical practice,the syndrome differentiation of traditional Chinese medicine is combined with the disease differentiation of Western medicine,and treatment is carried out in stages according to the development process of the disease:in the early stage of the disease,wind-cold pathogens invade the meridians and collaterals,and it is advocated to focus on dispelling wind and unblocking the meridians and collaterals.In the middle stage,when pathogenic factors are obstructed,the emphasis is on eliminating the solid pathogenic factors.In the later stage,when both qi and yin are deficient,it is necessary to regulate and supplement the healthy qi to ensure removing the pathogenic factors for reinforcement of healthy qi.One test case is attached.
