| According to the theory of treating diseases based on differentiation of symptoms and signs and clinical observation of chronic glomerulo- nephritis(CGN) in all ages, the author points out that the basic pathogenesis are yang or qi deficiency in both the spleen and kidney and blood stasis in the collaterals. The main therapeutic principle for the disease is to strengthen the spleen, nourish the kidney and remove blood stasis from collaterals.
