| Abstract
|
| Professor NAN Zheng，a master of traditional Chinese medicine，posits that the root of diabetic nephropathy lies in the “Sangao”，while its manifestations are located in the Sanjiao. Dysfunction of the “Sangao” leads to deranged qi transformation in the Sanjiao，disrupting water and essence metabolism and resulting in the endogenous production of turbid toxins. These deeply lurking pathogenic toxins invade internally along the Qijie-throat-kidney axis，where they combine with blood stasis to form toxic-stasis complexes that damage the renal collaterals，ultimately compromising the kidney’s structure and impairing its function. In clinical practice，Professor NAN Zheng focuses on “regulating the ‘Sangao’ and unblocking the Sanjiao” to consolidate the root，“protecting the throat and penetrating the Moyuan” to intercept its transmission，and “detoxifying，resolving stasis，and unblocking collaterals” to eliminate pathogenic factors. He places particular emphasis on the simultaneous treatment of body and mind，advocating the principle of “treating the person” rather than merely treating the disease. This paper systematically summarizes his diagnostic and therapeutic experience，supported by a case study，to provide insights for clinical practice. |
