Join us for an in-depth exploration of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) approaches to treating Primary IgA Nephropathy (IgAN), one of the most prevalent forms of primary glomerulonephritis worldwide. This unique course, led by Prof. Li, will dive into both modern and traditional methods of understanding and managing IgAN.
What You’ll Learn:
- Modern Medical Overview: KDIGO’s definitions and recommended supportive, hormone, and immunosuppressant treatments, along with considerations for women and children.
- TCM Approach to IgAN: Understanding IgAN in the TCM framework, where it’s often classified under categories such as “edema,” “lumbar pain,” and “consumptive disease.” We’ll discuss spleen and kidney deficiencies, damp heat with blood stasis, and treatment methods focused on supporting the body’s vital energy (Qi) while eliminating pathogenic factors.
- Practical TCM Treatment Strategies: Learn Prof. Li’s approach to IgAN, including syndrome differentiation, disease differentiation, immune function support, and kidney fibrosis prevention.
