肾脏疾病应用蝉蜕治疗研究

Study on Application of Cicada in Kidney Disease Treatment

近年来临床研究发现风邪对肾病的起病有重要作用,从风论治肾病在临床上起到不错的效果,而风邪上受,首先犯肺,且肺为水之上源,肺主行水,主宣发肃降,故从肺论治肾病较单纯从风论治更易收到良好的效果。蝉蜕入肺、肝经,为辛凉解表药,善散风热,宣肺利水;可祛风利湿、利尿消肿。现代西医药理研究发现蝉蜕对水肿、蛋白尿、低蛋白血症、高血压、炎症都有一定的疗效;肾脏疾病多缠绵难愈,而蝉蜕作为虫类药物较草药更善祛陈疴痼疾,故可作为临床治疗肾病的常用药。

In recent years, clinical studies showed that the onset of pathogenic wind on nephropathy has an important role, and the treatment from the wind of nephropathy had a good effect in clinic. But the wind pathogen first attacks lung, and the lung is the upper water source and controls the water as well as Qi as ending and descending. Treatment from lung for nephropathy is better than pure treatment from the wind. Cicada belongs to lung and liver meridians and it can relieve the exterior with cool and pungent natures. It is good at dispersing wind-heat and dispersing lung to promote urination and dispelling wind and promoting urination to resolve swelling. Modern western medicine pharmacological study has found that it has a certain effect on edema, proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, hypertension and inflammation. Kidney disease is refractory, and cicada, as an insect drug, can get better effect. Therefore, it can be used as a commonlyused drug in clinical treatment of nephropathy.
