| Abstract
|
| Diabetic kidney disease（DKD） is a major microvascular complication of diabetes，characterized by rapid progression and poor prognosis，for which modern medicine lacks specific and effective therapies. In traditional Chinese medicine，DKD falls under the categories of Xu Lao（consumptive disease） and Shui Zhong（edema）. Professor ZHANG Daning has refined its traditional Chinese medicine pathogenesis into “deficiency，blood stasis，dampness，and turbidity”. Based on the core pathogenesis of “kidney deficiency and blood stasis” in DKD，he established the “kidney-tonifying and blood-activating method” for its treatment. This method takes tonifying the kidney and activating blood circulation as the core therapeutic principle，supplemented by approaches such as nourishing the liver and kidney，protecting the spleen and stomach，clearing heat and dissipating nodules，and purging the fu-organs to discharge turbidity. In clinical practice，he strictly adheres to the pathogenesis while flexibly adapting treatment，achieving remarkable therapeutic efficacy. |
