Application of Shudihuang (Radix Rehmanniae Praeparata) in the Treatment of Diabetic Kidney Disease
The core pathogenesis of diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is
yin
essence depletion and kidney collate-rals obstruction. Yin essence depletion is considered to be the causal pathogenesis throughout the course of DKD, whereby deficiency of kidney
yin
is the major pathogenetic factor in the early stage of DKD, and depletion of kidney essence becomes dominant as DKD progresses. Shudihuang (
Radix Rehmanniae Praeparata
) is considered to be the crucial herb effectively and directly targeting the core pathogenesis of DKD by enriching
yin
and supplementing essence. Because the depletion of kidney
yin
essence grows gradually severe as DKD progresses in the middle and late stage, the impairment of kidney
qi
, kidney
yang
, and
ying
(营血)-blood arises, whereas phlegm, blood stasis and other pathogens resulting from stagnation caused by deficiency obstruct the kidney collaterals. Shudihuang can be used to nourish blood and dispel
bi
(痹), whereby its effect could also be extended and enhanced through matching with other herbs on dispelling stagnation and supplementing essence, gathering
qi
and generating kidney essence, seeking
yin
within
yang
, improving
qi
reception and relieving panting, dispersing kidney deficiency and phlegm. In addition, it is emphasized to avoid cloying but enriching in using Shudinghuang for the treatment of DKD, and to enrich
yin
and supplement essence to an appropriate degree without overcorrection
