中西医结合治疗肾病的研究进展

Research Progress on Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine in Treating Kidney Diseases

摘要: 肾病是全球范围内威胁人类健康的重大疾病之一，包括急慢性肾小球肾炎、肾病综合征、糖尿病肾病及终末期肾病等。传统西医治疗手段主要包括应用激素、免疫抑制剂、透析疗法及肾移植。然而，这些方法常伴有较大的药物副作用、疾病易复发、病人耐受性差等问题。中医则依据整体观念和辨证施治原则，着重于调节机体阴阳平衡，其独特的治疗机制及疗效评估体系具有一定的优势。因此，中西医结合治疗模式通过整合西医的精准诊断与中医的个体化调理，在延缓疾病进展、改善症状、提高生活质量等方面展现出显著的优势。本文结合近些年研究进展，系统阐述中西医结合治疗肾病的作用机制、临床实践及未来发展方向。

Abstract: Kidney diseases are one of the major diseases threatening human health worldwide, including acute and chronic glomerulonephritis, nephrotic syndrome, diabetic nephropathy, and end-stage renal disease. Conventional Western medicine treatments primarily employ treatments such as hormones, immunosuppressants, dialysis, and kidney transplantation. However, these methods often come with significant drug side effects, high recurrence rates, and poor patient tolerance. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), guided by holistic concepts and syndrome differentiation, focuses on regulating the body’s yin-yang balance, offering unique therapeutic mechanisms and efficacy evaluation systems with distinct advantages. Consequently, the integrated TCM-Western medicine approach, combining Western diagnostic precision with TCM’s personalized conditioning, demonstrates notable benefits in delaying disease progression, alleviating symptoms, and improving quality of life. This paper systematically reviews recent research advances, elucidating the mechanisms, clinical applications, and future directions of integrated TCM-Western medicine in treating kidney diseases.
