What are the internal organs of traditional Chinese medicine? What is the relationship between them?
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that there is an overall correlation between the five internal organs and the viscera, that is, they cooperate closely in physiology and influence each other in pathology. Spleen and stomach, kidney and bladder are the exterior-interior relations of viscera, and the relationship between spleen and lung (note: the relationship between lung and spleen is mainly manifested in two aspects: the generation of qi and the transport and metabolism of body fluid. The generation of qi mainly depends on the respiratory function of lung and the transport function of spleen. Clear qi inhaled by lung and Shui Gu essence transported by spleen are the main material basis of qi. Therefore, whether the respiratory function of lung and the transport function of spleen are healthy or not is closely related to the rise and fall of qi. In terms of body fluid transport and metabolism, lung's descending and regulating water channels are helpful for spleen to transport and transform water. However, transporting body fluid from the spleen to the lung is not only the premise of transporting water to the lung, but also provides necessary nutrition for the physiological activities of the lung. Therefore, they have an interactive relationship in body fluid metabolism. ), lung and kidney (note: the relationship between kidney and lung is mainly manifested in two aspects: water-liquid metabolism and respiratory movement. In terms of water-liquid metabolism, the kidney is the organ that controls water, and the lung is the source of water. The lung qi descends and the waterway is unobstructed; If the kidney's gasification is normal, it will open and close normally. The coordination of lung and kidney plays an important role in the normal metabolism of water and fluid in human body. ) is a mother-child relationship, and the Chinese medicine term is primary gold (note: spleen can help lung gold, spleen can replenish qi, transform qi and blood, turn essence into lung, and promote the function of lung governing qi. ), Jin Shengshui (note: the lung governs the clearing, the kidney governs the storage of essence, and the decline of lung qi helps the kidney to store essence and accept qi. )。 Clinically, it is common for patients with nephritis and nephropathy to increase urinary protein due to cold or palatine tonsillitis, which is explained by modern medicine as upper respiratory tract infection. However, Chinese medicine believes that exogenous pathogenic factors attacking the lung, unclear lung qi, toxic attack of lung and stomach heat, and damp-heat accumulation can all affect the function of spleen and kidney in controlling subtle changes. Therefore, the TCM symptoms of proteinuria mainly include deficiency syndrome (note: deficiency syndrome refers to deficiency of vital qi, deterioration of viscera function, which is more common in weakness, acquired disorder, or after a long illness or serious illness, as well as deficiency of Yin and Yang Qi and deficiency of both qi and blood caused by fatigue of seven emotions and excessive sexual intercourse. However, due to the different degrees of deficiency of qi and blood, yin and yang, there are blood deficiency, qi deficiency, yin deficiency and yang deficiency in clinic. ) and empirical evidence (note: empirical evidence refers to the symptoms of excessive pathogenic factors and excessive visceral function. ) two categories. Deficiency is due to spleen deficiency, kidney deficiency and spleen and kidney deficiency, which leads to dereliction of duty in nourishing essence and storing essence. The excess syndrome is that the evil of lung and stomach is transmitted to spleen and kidney, so it has no right to control the subtle. "The law depends on the symptoms", so the treatment of proteinuria in traditional Chinese medicine is also colorful.
