Edema is beneficial to water. This is the conventional way of treating kidney disease. However, the type of kidney disease that we are talking about today is also high in spring.

Everyone is familiar with the term membranous nephropathy. Western medicine believes that membranous nephropathy can cause damage to the basement membrane barrier and lead to the deposition of immune complexes.
“Accumulation” is synonymous with “Zheng” in Chinese medicine, and “Zheng” refers to a fixed mass in the body. “The Mysterious Pearl of Chishui: The Accumulation Theory” says: “I don’t know that there are things with form and substance. If the accumulation is not good, it will accumulate, and the five viscera and six fu organs have all of them.”

In addition to edema, membranous nephropathy also has these atypical symptoms: fear of cold, cold hands and feet, loose stools, abdominal fullness, and stomach pain.
Experts remind that patients with kidney disease should pay attention to their spleen and stomach symptoms.
