Syndrome Differentiation and Treatment of Thalassemia based on the Theory of “Kidney Stores Essence and Produces Marrow”
It has been more than 30 years in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) since the adoption of “kidney stores essence and produces marrow” theory in guiding syndrome differentiation and treatment of thalassemia, and the effect has been clinically approved. Through investigating the theoretical background and conducting survey on TCM syndromes, it is proposed the theoretical basis for TCM in treating thalassemia is rooted in the theory of “kidney produces marrow, and marrow generates blood”; moreover, according to the accumulation of clinical experience and the results from the molecular biology researches, the “kidney stores essence and produces marrow” theory as guidance for thalassemia can be classified into three levels. The scientificity of this three-level theory has been analyzed and approved through a series of animal studies and clinical researches, which reveal the differences and associations among three levels, and summarize the connotations of the theory in cells, molecules, signal pathways, gene expression and other aspects.
