名中医李中南辨证治疗桥本甲状腺炎经验撷菁OA

Hashimoto's thyroiditis(HT)is a relatively common thyroid disease in clinical practice,and most of the late stages of the disease will naturally regress to hypothyroidism,and early intervention can effectively control neck enlargement and improve the quality of life of patients.This article summarises the experience of Director LI Zhongnan in treating Hashimoto's thyroiditis.To address this disease,Director LI Zhongnan captured the core patho-genesis,arguing that most of its sufferers have yang-qi deficiency,and that the morbidity is closely related to the liv-er,spleen,and kidneys,and that qi deficiency,qi stagnation,phlegm condensation,and blood stasis are important pathological factors.Stressing on the identification and treatment of Chinese medicine,LI classified the disease into four types:liver-depression and spleen-deficiency type,qi deficiency and phlegm obstruction type,phlegm and blood stasis type,and spleen and kidney yang deficiency,and the combination of clinical diagnosis of the disease and identifi-cation of the disease resulted in remarkable therapeutic effects.
