Moreover, during the onset and progression of the disease, the etiological factors and their pathological products often interact and mutually influence each other.Guidelines for Treatment:
1. Chinese Medicine Ion Therapy: This unique therapy combines Chinese medicine, acupoints, and the physical effects of electricity to promote the transdermal absorption of drugs, allowing more medication to enter the body. It can enhance drug efficacy and prevent liver damage. Each treatment lasts 15–30 minutes, once daily, with 7–15 sessions constituting one course, followed by a break of 3–7 days.
2. Acupoint Pasting Therapy: Integrating traditional Chinese medicine's external treatment of internal diseases with chronomedicine, this method applies medication to corresponding acupoints on the body surface to treat conditions. It bypasses the digestive system, reducing gastrointestinal discomfort caused by long-term medication use. It is painless, improves patients' quality of life, enhances renal function, and slows the progression of kidney failure.
3. Medication Therapy: Based on the diagnosis of kidney qi, blood and qi deficiencies, and yin deficiency in the liver and kidneys, Chinese medicine is prescribed to treat the condition.
