This article briefly introduces FANG Dingya’s experience in preventing and treating urarthritis with the idea of "preventive treatment of disease"

which has three aspects

including preventing disease before it arises

controlling the development of existing disease and preventing the recurrence after cure. During the asymptomatic hyperuricemia period

physicians should focus on "preventing disease before it arises"with the health education for patients

meanwhile clearing heat

draining dampness

draining turbid and expelling stones are the main therapeutic principles

to prevent and treat the acute onset of gout and the formation of urinary stones. During the intermission period and the chronic period

"controlling the development of existing disease"is important

the therapeutic principles are regulating Qi

invigorating blood

dissolving stasis and unblocking the collaterals. For the remission period

tonifying liver and kidney should be emphasized based on "preventing the recurrence after cure".
