ABSTRACT
This article analyzed the clinical experience of Professor RAO Xiang-rong in the treatment of early diabetic kidney diseases (DKD) from the aspects of etiology, pathogenesis and methods of treatment prescriptions. Professor RAO believes that early DKD patients suffer from long-term eating disorders and like to eat high-salt, high-protein, high-fat, and high-calorie food, which results in the occlusion of middle Jiao, unruly dryness fire and retention of damp-heat, and then leads to the damage to spleen and kidney, qi and yin deficiency and blood stasis in meridians. He points out that the dryness-heat of middle Jiao is the core pathogenesis and puts forward the treatment concept of "Treating renal diabetes must first treat gastric diabetes".
