甲状腺功能亢进症当从五脏论治

Treatment of Hyperthyroidism from the Five Zang-organs

甲状腺功能亢进症是一种由于多因素诱发而出现全身内外各脏腑组织器官异常的病症。其发病原因多端,临床表现多样,并常合并肝损害及白细胞减少等症。甲状腺功能亢进症的发生发展与五脏失调密切相关,肝气横逆,可上冲心肺、中犯脾胃、下耗肾阴,遍及全身各脏腑组织器官,其病机总以阴虚阳亢、五脏失调为主。因此在治疗上,应以“调理五脏,以平为期”为指导原则,根据其不同的临床表现、五脏功能失调的偏颇,在治疗上有所侧重,补其不足,损其有余,以期改善症状、改善指标、缩短疗程及防复发,提高临床疗效。

Hyperthyroidism,caused by many factors,is characterized by the abnormality of various organs.It features diverse clinical manifestations,particularly liver damage and leukopenia.The occurrence and development of this disease is closely related to the disharmony of the five zang-organs.To be specific,the disordered qi in liver attacks the heart and lung in the upper,invades the spleen and stomach in the middle,and consumes the kidney yin,thus flowing all over the viscera,tissues and organs of the whole body.The general pathogenesis is yin deficiency and yang hyperactivity and disharmony of five zang-organs.Therefore,according to the principle of“regulating five zang-organs to achieve harmony”,the treatment method is selected depending on the clinical manifestations and the dysfunction of specific organs,so as to tonify the insufficiency and damage the surplus.That is how we can alleviate the symptoms,improve indicators,shorten the course of treatment,reduce the recurrence,and improve the clinical efficacy.
