Collateral Disease Theory To Guide The Diagnosis And Treatment Of Hepatic Fibrosis Literature

Chronic liver disease(CLD) which can lead to hepatic fibrosis, hepatic cirrhosis and liver cancer at last, has servere perniciousness. Hepatic fibrosis linking hepatic cirrhosis and liver cancer, it has large significance to pay attentiont to Hepatic fibrosis for preventing and treating hepatic cirrhosis. So far, there is few satisfactory treatment plan and drug for hepatic fibrosis, study for discussing the invasion, development and transmission of"hepatic fibrosisâ†'hepatic cirrhosisâ†'liver cancer"and stopping the transmission needs to be solved by domestic and international physicians. Chinese medicine takes good effects in treating hepatic fibrosis. Hepatic fibrosis is somehow a collateral disease of Chinese medicine. We will discuss the differentiation and treatment of hepatic fibrosis using the method of documentary investigation and theory of collateral disease in this article.First of all, carrying out the study of collateral disease systemically, we can get to know about the physiology, pathology and differentiation and treatment of anthropometric collaterals and subcollaterals, which build up the concrete basic differentiation and treatment of collateral disease of hepatic fibrosis.Secondly, based on theory of insidious pathogenic factors of warm disease, explaining"evil hiding in hepatic collateral", basic pathogenesis of hepaticcollateral disease, we conclude that the differentiation and classification and medical treatment of hepatic collateral disease. Hepatic fibrosis is the serious result of hepatic collateral disease. Hepatic collaterals have 7 physiological fuctions, nourishing liver body, ease and smoothing Qi and blood, pleasing mind and mood, helping the spleen to transporting and transforming nutrients from foodstuff, regulating liquid metabolism, storing and generating blood, regulating Chong and Ren Meridians. The evil hiding in hepatic collaterals will lead to hepatic fibrosis chronically by internal or external factors. Analyzing the correlative documents of treating heptic fibrosis, we conclude the highlight of differentiation of symptoms and signs, differetiation and treatment of each type, and its general drug of hepatic collateral disease.Finally, by analyzing and statisting the prescription and herbs collected in the database, counting the frequency of the herbs from the angle of function, type, four properties,five flavor and meridian distribution, we draw a conclusion on herbs of treating hepatic fiberosis, such as herbs of dispersing the depressed liver-energy and regulating Qi flow, herbs of nourishing Qi to inwigorate spleen, herbs of invigorating the kidney, herbs of activating blood circulation to dissipate blood stasis and softening hard mass, herbs of dispelling dampness and animal herbs, also get some sign of herb feature in treating hepatic fiberosis ,and the relationship to entrails in its treatment inderectly To confirm the catholicity and validity of the method of dredging meridians and activating collaterals in treating hepatic fiberosis.To sum up, correlative contents are systemically sorted in this article, etiopathogenisis and pathogenesis of TCM, differetiation of syndrom and treatment of hepatic fiberosis are discussed with"theory of collateral disease"and"theory of evil hiding"primarily. The validity of"theory of collateral disease"are confirmed in differetiation of syndrom and treatment of hepatic fiberosis with frequency statistics.
