中医药治疗慢性肾脏病的研究进展

Research Progress in the Treatment of Chronic Kidney Disease with Traditional Chinese Medicine

慢性肾脏病(Chronic Kidney Disease, CKD)因其高患病率、低知晓率、高死亡率的特点,随着人口老龄化的加重,生活方式、饮食结构的改变,成为我国乃至全球范围内重大公共卫生问题之一,对全人类的健康产生严重的威胁。慢性肾脏病是不可逆转的,但是可以通过处理其病因和并发症,从而延缓慢性肾衰竭的进展速度。中医治疗手段较多,且安全性高,操作过程简便、创伤低、治疗费用低且少有因内服药物后导致的胃肠道不良反应,可以在CKD发病的整个过程中进行干预治疗。作者根据相关文献总结说明了中医药治疗慢性肾脏病的作用进展和特点。现就中医药疗法在临床中的应用进行综述。

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) has become one of the major public health problems in China and even around the world due to its high prevalence, low awareness and high mortality. With the ag-gravation of population aging and the change of lifestyle and diet structure, CKD has become a seri-ous threat to the health of all mankind. Chronic kidney disease is irreversible, but the progression of chronic renal failure can be delayed by treating its etiology and complications. Traditional Chi-nese medicine has many treatment methods, high safety, simple operation, low trauma, low treat-ment cost and few gastrointestinal adverse reactions caused by oral administration of drugs, which can be intervened in the whole process of CKD. The author summarized and explained the progress and characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine in treating chronic kidney disease according to relevant literature. This article reviews the clinical application of traditional Chinese medicine therapy.
