Common TCM Patterns in IgA Nephropathy During High-Dose Corticosteroids or Immunosuppressants
IgA nephropathy (immunoglobulin A nephropathy, IgAN) is a group of glomerulonephritides characterized by IgA deposits in the glomerular mesangium. It was first described in 1968 by French pathologists Berger and Hinglais, and is therefore also known as Berger’s disease. In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), there is no specific disease name for IgA nephropathy. Based on…

Acute Pancreatitis (Acute Phase)
Acute pancreatitis (AP) is an inflammatory response caused by the activation of pancreatic enzymes due to various factors. This leads to autodigestion, edema, hemorrhage, or even necrosis of pancreatic tissue.

Chronic infection of the biliary tract is a chronic inflammatory disease of the biliary system caused by various pathogenic factors. Biliary stones are the main cause, and stones and infection can contribute to one another in a vicious cycle. It is a common clinical condition, and the prognosis is generally good. It typically develops insidiously,…
