LIU Fengbin's Experience in Treating Autoimmune Liver Disease with the Method of Nourishing Yin and Removing Stasis Based on Stage
This paper summarizes Professor LIU Fengbin's clinical experience in treating autoimmune liver disease (AILD) using the method of nourishing
yin
and removing stasis based on stage differentiation. He believes that the pathogenesis of AILD generally involves both deficiency in essence and excess in manifestation, with essence deficiency often presenting as liver and kidney
yin
deficiency, which may progress to spleen deficiency and
yang
deficiency over time. The excess manifestation commonly includes
qi
stagnation, blood stasis, damp-heat, and phlegm toxicity. Clinically, he advocates for the treatment principle of nourishing
yin
and removing stasis. On the foundation of nourishing liver and kidney
yin
, different pathological factors causing stasis are eliminated according to their nature. Treatment is also tailored to different stages of AILD. In the early and asymptomatic stages, liver
qi
stagnation and spleen deficiency are prominent, warranting a therapeutic approach of soothing the liver, regulating
qi
and strengthening the spleen. The modified
Chaishao Qizhi Decoction
(柴芍气滞汤) is used. During the symptomatic stage, pathogenic factors become more pronounced, often accompanied by a significant deficiency of vital
qi
, with damp-heat, water retention, and phlegm toxicity as key pathological features. The treatment should focus on strengthening the spleen and dispelling dampness, using modified
Sijunzi Decoction
(四君子汤) combined with
Yinchen Wuling Powder
(茵陈五苓散). In the liver function decompensation stage, vital
qi
is severely deficient while pathogenic factors persist, with damp-heat, phlegm toxicity, and blood stasis obstructing the liver collaterals. Treatment should focus on nourishing blood, softening the liver, strengthening the spleen, and resolving stasis, using the modified
Ruangan Yangxue Decoction
(软肝养血汤). Throughout the treatment process, emphasis is placed on tonifying the liver and kidneys while protecting
yin
fluids.
