Treatment of Ankylosing Spondylitis Based on the Dynamic Pathogenesis of "Heat Bi (痹)-Marrow Deficiency-Bone Damage"
Based on the understanding of "kidney storing essence and marrow nourishing bone", and in combination with the modern pathological characteristics of ankylosing spondylitis (AS), this paper systematically elucidates the dynamic pathogenesis evolution of "heat
bi
(inflammatory activity)-marrow deficiency (bone marrow edema)-bone damage (bone structural damage)" in AS. It is proposed that in the heat
bi
stage, there is kidney deficiency with pathogenic invasion and heat congesting the meridians. In the marrow deficiency stage, heat consumes kidney essence, leading to marrow injury and collateral obstruction. In the bone damage stage, kidney exhaustion and marrow emptiness occur, with phlegm-stasis congealing on bone. Accordingly, a stage-specific treatment strategy for AS is established. In the heat
bi
stage, treatment focuses on supplementing the kidney and replenishing essence, clearing heat and unblocking collaterals. In the marrow deficiency stage, the main approach is to supplement the kidney and benefit marrow, unblock collaterals and reduce edema. In the bone damage stage, it is suggested to supplement the kidney and replenish essence, benefit marrow and strengthen bone, resolve phlegm and expel stasis.
