Kidneys, Livers And Theoretical Study

Objective and Significance: The kidney and the liver are important internal organs of the human body. The relation of them is close, which is summarized as "Yi and Gui are derived from the same origin" by doctors. But the relationship of them is not only this. 1. The basic theory of TCM is guided by the conception holism. The relationship of the kidney and the liver can't be discussed without holism; it must be put into two function system of kidney visceral figure and liver visceral figure, and discussed from each aspect. 2. "Yi and Gui are derived from the same origin" origin from BaGua, its connotation is narrow. The connotation was addend later, but it didn't depart the constraint of "the same origin". The relationship of the kidney and the liver is much more than "Yi and Gui are derived from the same origin" from literatures and modem investigations. "Yi and Gui are derived from the same origin" is one aspect of the relationship. 3. Qian Yi in Song Dynasty advocated the view as there is no deficient syndrome in liver and on asthenia syndrome in kidney. After this, when multitude doctors Bianzheng Lun Zhi disease of kidney and liver, they based on this point, but they ignore the precondition of this point, i. e. the precondition of this point is talked about children's physiological feature. Thus, the content of patio-correlation in kidney and liver is integrity. Therefore, this paper was written to approach the correlation of kidney and liver overall. This paper unscrambles inducts and summarizes the ancient and modem literature contents concerned with the correlation of kidney and liver, and approaches the connotation of the correlation of kidney and liver, co morbidity of kidney and liver, and kidney and liver can be treated with the same therapy. By this way, foundation may be supplied for clinical dialectic and empirical study.Contents: The correlation of kidney and liver is namely two functional systems. The two functional systems include kidney and liver's circulation of QI-blood in meridians, what kidney and liver belong to in five elements, the foundation of substance, their physiological nature and the relationship on physiology and patio. This paper approaches the relationship of kidney and liver in syn-flourishing, syn-declining and inter-application with the point of view kidney visceral figure and liver visceral figure. It also explains three aspects contents, i. e. the head stream of the correlation of kidney and liver, the connotation of this theory, and application of doctrine of the meridian.The theory of the correlation of kidney and liver is origin from Huangdi Neijing and Nanjing. It is abundance and development by doctors in the Han, Tang, Jin and Yuan Dynasties. In Ming dynasty, Li Zhongzi advocated his view as Yi and Gui are derived from the same origin and kidney and liver can be treated with the same therapy on the basic of summarizing predecessor and his own doctrine of the meridian experience. This established rationale for the study of kidney and liver correlation. Nearly nowadays multitude medico-worker approaches advanced to the relation of kidney and liver in many ways.The theory of the correlation of kidney and liver contains six aspects, that is, the channel of kidney and liver is communicated, the relationship like mother-child inter-promotion, blood and essence correlation, syn-administer ministerial fire, yin-yang complementation, concordance in storing and leak. Kidney and liver strengthen connection through communication QI-blood by regular channels musculature, collaterals and sub collaterals and extra meridian. In five elements, kidney belongs to water and liver belongs to wood. Water is wood's mother and wood is water's son, they inter-promoted. Kidney storing essence and liver storing blood, blood and essence is synonym, and kidney and liver is bond together by a common cause. In five elements, kidney belongs to water and liver belongs to wood. Ministerial fire is origin from dragon thunder, and it is Qi of wood and water. In human body ministerial fire lives in kidney and liver, and syn-administer by kidney and liver. Kidney and liver both located in lower Jiao, and Qi of Yin and Yang is communicated. The character of kidney is hibemating storing, while the character of liver is smoothing. They are opposite and complementary to each other.When disease occur, either kidney disease initiate the liver's, or liver disease initiate the kidney's, or they are sick at the same time, the result is kidney and liver both sick. When kidney and liver both sick, if it is deficiency, the appearance will be both of them is deficiency, such as kidney and liver deficiency of Yin, kidney and liver deficiency of Yang, kidney and liver deficiency of blood and essence; if it is excess, the appearance will be both of them is excess, such as kidney and hepatic heat, kidney and liver excess-cold syndrome, damp-heat in kidney and liver, syndrome of stagnation of QI in kidney and liver, syndrome of blood stasis in them; if it is inclusion of the deficiency and excess the appearance will be both deficiency in kidney and excess in liver, deficiency type accompanied by excess in them. The cure should abide by the principle of kidney and liver can be treated with the same therapy. If it is deficiency, it will be treated with asthenia requiring notification; if it is excess, it will be treated with asthenia syndrome requiring purgation; if it is inclusion of the deficiency and excess, it will be treated with strengthening deficiency and pirating excess, given consideration to Biao and Ben. According to different type of syndrome, different methods were adopt, such as nourish and strengthening the kidney and the liver, warming and strengthening the kidney and the liver, strengthening the essence the blood, reducing and weakening the warm of kidney and liver, warming and scattering the cold of kidney and liver, reducing and inducing warm and damp of kidney and the liver, propelling Qi flow to relieve the depressive syndrome, promoting blood circulation to remove blood stasis, strengthening the kidney and smoothing the liver, strengthening the Kidney and the liver, eliminating asthenia pathogenic factors, etc. And many prescriptions were used, for example Liuwei Dihuang Pill, Jinkui Shenqi Pill, Xieshen Decoction, Shenzhuo Decoction, Longdan Xiegan Decoction, Chaihu Shugan Powder, Taohe Chengqi Decoction, Tiantai Wuyao Powder, Nuangan Decoction, Zishen Shenggan Yin, Yiguan Decoction and so on.
