Abstract

IgA nephropathy (IgAN) with the sore throat is common in clinical practice. It has been confirmed that a sore throat is closely related to the process of IgAN generation and development. Both doctors and patients are bothered with this disease. The application of the modern medicine in this field is limited because of antibiosis abuse and adverse effects. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) provides another method to treat it. In TCM theory, according to the syndrome differentiation, the two common syndromes of IgAN with sore throat are hot junction in the throat and hyperactivity of hypopyrexia. The therapy of dispersing wind to ease heat, detoxicating heat and cooling blood to stop bleeding and nourishing renal yin to lessen fire, based on the syndrome differentiation, has attained a good clinical outcome in clinical practice.
