Chronic glomerulonephritis referred to as chronic nephritis, which is a common autoimmune diseases of urinary system.Chronic nephritis is caused by a variety of different pathological types of bilateral diffuse or focal glomerular inflammatory changes; is a group of similar clinical manifestations and pathological changes vary, the primary outcome is different in the kidney ball disease in general. The main symptoms characteristic edema, proteinuria, hematuria, hypertension and renal insufficiency.
The majority of patients the slow onset, often chronic progressive course, from a small number of changes by acute nephritis. As the disease progresses, patients with more than 2 to 3 years or 20 to 30 years after renal failure. In end-stage chronic renal failure caused by a variety of causes of chronic nephritis occupy the first place. Chronic nephritis is a traditional Chinese medicine “edema”, “cloudy water”, “back pain”, “Consumption” and other areas.

[Etiology and pathology]
The disease is mainly related to the lung, spleen, liver, kidney and other organs dysfunction related to lung deficiency is of essence and of the gas is not water, then the soil is not water deficiency and water pan, kidney is the main water nothing and Wang Xing, resulting in fine body of water distribution and gasification dysfunction, stay wet or overflows. Yin Yang damage and disease for a long time, also loss of kidney yin.
Long-yin deficiency, water is not Han wood, the liver and kidney, liver yang syndrome. Qi and Yin deficiency, blood whom blocked, showing stasis of the disease. The disease eventually leading to yin and yang, spleen and kidney decline, overcast cloud filled the critical syndromes.

[Diagnostic points
1 slow onset, persistent disease, clinical manifestations of proteinuria, hematuria or microscopic examination of urine red blood cells, edema, hypertension, renal insufficiency, duration of more than 1 year, excluding secondary renal disease, kidney disease and other infectious chronic kidney disease, the disease can be considered.
