Amyloidosis is a rare systemic disease, so let's start with why is it so named? In fact, it was discovered early on that this substance reacts to iodine in a similar way to starches (the simplest principle of starch turning blue when exposed to iodine in junior high school chemistry).

And while the substance is actually primarily a non-soluble fibrous protein, the old name has stuck.

When this insoluble fibrous protein is deposited in the kidneys, it is called "renal amyloidosis".

From the Chinese medicine point of view, renal amyloidosis is mostly seen in the middle-aged and elderly people, because of the innate deficiency, to the middle-aged after the decline in physical fitness, the kidneys are also decline, the spleen and kidney qi loss day by day.

Or thirst, tubercular infection, gall tumors, carbuncle ulcer and paralysis, etc., which have not been cured for a long time, depletion of essence, poor will hurt the kidney, kidney deficiency and spleen, which led to the occurrence of this disease.

Renal amyloidosis has a slow onset and a long course.

The disease is centered on the spleen and kidneys, and involves the lungs, liver, heart, and the triple jiao organs. It originates from the four major aspects of physical deficiency, phlegm, blood stasis, and water, of which deficiency is the main cause of the disease, and the beginning of qi deficiency is common, and with the progression of the disease, the disease mechanism is transformed into yin deficiency, and qi and yin deficiencies.

Phlegm, water, and stasis are the pathological products of deficiency, and phlegm has the same pathological properties as amyloid, which can be stagnated in the internal organs and impregnated in the skin, meridians, and joints, leading to enlargement of tissues and organs, malfunction, and blood viscosity, and poor blood circulation in the area.

In particular, phlegm, water, and stasis interact with each other, and **** with the same as the new causative factors, so that the body shows the symptoms of the complexity and variability.

They are the most important of all.
