毒性弥漫性甲状腺肿(Graves病)是一种自身免疫性疾病,临床表现除甲状腺毒性弥漫性肿大外,还涉及多系统的综合征。祖国医学属于"瘿瘤""瘰疬"范畴,与情志变化关系密切。其病势复杂,病机变化多端,作者认为Graves病符合中医整体观下的个性化治疗和五脏生克制化的阴阳平衡诊疗特色,临床采用疏肝健脾养心法随证治疗该病,收到显著疗效。

Toxic diffuse goiter（Graves disease） is an autoimmune disease with the clinical spectrum going from toxic diffuse goiter to multi-systemic syndrome. In traditional Chinese medicine,this disease falls within the scope of＂gall tumor＂or＂scrofula＂and is considered to be closely related to emotional changes. The patient＇s condition may be complicated and the pathogenesis varied. This paper argues that the treatment featuring personalization and balanced allelopathy of the five visceral organs,asserted by the holism of traditional Chinese medicine,is a feasible solution to cure Graves disease. Clinical practice shows that the liver coursing,spleen strengthening and heart nourishing method has a remarkable effect on this disease.
