He was cured of the disease.  Dr. Tan Feng, chief nephrologist, analyzed the case: the essence of diabetic nephropathy is the dysfunction of the lung, spleen and kidney, and the deficiency of qi-transformation of the three jiao, especially the deficiency of the spleen and kidney, in clinical manifestations are mainly proteinuria, occult blood, hypertension, increased blood creatinine, urea nitrogen, accompanied by lumbar weakness, edema, loss of appetite and other symptoms, the root of the spleen deficiency is the deficiency of transport and transformation, kidney deficiency is not conducive to qi-transformation, the accumulation of turbidity in the body can not The root of the problem is that the spleen is deficient in transportation, the kidney is deficient in Qi transformation, and the turbidity is not allowed to be released in the body. Chinese medicine says that dampness is sticky and not easy to go quickly, so it often recurs clinically and is quite tangled up in treatment. This disease varies in its treatment because of individual differences, and in addition to the identification and treatment, the main thing is to treat the symptoms in an urgent manner and to treat the root cause in a slow manner.  We promote in the fine tuning slow nourishment, in many cases whether you suffer from a very serious physical disease, must be quiet, with the treatment of the attending doctor, adjust the mentality, in order not to get twice the result with half the effort!
