Abstract：Objective:To investigate the distribution of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)syndrome types of and influen-cing factors on ED with hyperuricemia.Methods:Based on the clinical data on 271 cases of ED with hyperuricemia admitted to our Department of Andrology,we studied the characteristics of syndrome elements,summarized the TCM syndrome types,and investigated the influencing factors on the distribution of the syndrome types by factor analysis and cluster analysis.Results:By factor analysis of the data collected on TCM symptoms,12 common factors and 15 syndrome type elements were identified,including disease type syn-drome elements dampness,phlegm,heat,qi stagnation,blood stasis,qi deficiency,blood deficiency,yin deficiency,yang deficiency and essence deficiency,and disease-location syndrome elements kidney,liver,spleen,limbs and joints.Common factor cluster analy-sis revealed the main TCM syndrome types kidney deficiency damp-heat syndrome,spleen and kidney deficiency syndrome,liver de-pression and kidney deficiency syndrome,kidney deficiency and blood stasis syndrome,and the main influencing factors on the distri-bution of syndrome types including uric acid,systolic blood pressure,urea,obesity and so on.Conclusion:The main TCM syn-drome types of ED with hyperuricemia include kidney deficiency damp-heat syndrome,spleen and kidney deficiency syndrome,liver depression and kidney deficiency syndrome,kidney deficiency and blood stasis syndrome,and the related influencing factors can be used as an objective basis for the differentiation of TCM syndromes.
