A discussion on the relationship between the five organs and proteinuria

Abstract

Diabetic nephropathy is the most common kidney disease in recent years. In the early and middle stages of diabetic nephropathy, proteinuria is the main symptom, and it is speculated that proteinuria is caused by kidney essence deficiency. Proteinuria is widely recognized as an important indicator in the occurrence and development of various kidney diseases, and long-term proteinuria can cause serious harm to the body. Exploring the relationship between the five organs and proteinuria can help explore the mechanism of early proteinuria formation, propose effective predictive indicators, and facilitate timely clinical interventions to delay the occurrence and development of diabetic nephropathy. The etiology and pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy are complex, and single treatment methods often fail to achieve ideal therapeutic effects. Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes a holistic approach and individualized treatment, which can be beneficial in combination with modern Western medicine treatments. Research on the correlation between the five organs and proteinuria can further promote the integration of traditional Chinese and Western medicine in research and application, fully leveraging their advantages, and enhancing the efficacy of diabetic nephropathy treatment. The purpose of this article is to further strengthen the understanding of the relationship between the five organs and proteinuria, and provide theoretical basis and reference for the prevention and treatment of related conditions.
