Abstract：Diabetic kidney disease is a common clinical chronic complication of diabetes mellitus,which has become the main cause of chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal disease.Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the core of the disease is the kidney,which is caused by the damage of the kidney body,the loss of kidney use,and the failure of the nephron.In Huangdi Neijing,it is recorded that"the kidney is bitter and dry,and the acute food is bitter to moisten it","the kidney wants to be strong,and the acute food is bitter to strengthen it,and it is bitter to tonify it,and the salt reduces it".This article investigated the connotation of the theory of"bitter to fill and reduce"of kidney in Huangdi Neijing,and combined with the current mainstream treatment of diabetic kidney disease in traditional Chinese medicine,it is proposed that the differentiation and treatment of diabetic kidney disease in traditional Chinese medicine should focus on the kidney.The kidney dryness should be moistened by spicy,the kidney deficiency should be strengthened by bitterness,and the kidney is solid should be salty and reduced.In order to provide theoretical origin for the treatment of diabetic kidney disease with integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine,and provide new ideas and methods for the differentiation and treatment of diabetic kidney disease with traditional Chinese medicine.
