FORMULA EXPLANATION
In traditional Chinese medicine, chronic nephritic syndrome and chronic nephrotic syndrome are complicated diseases involving excess and deficiency. The excess refers to the clinical manifestation of the illness, which is the accumulation of dampness and turbidity in the lower jiao. The deficiency relates to the underlying cause, Kidney qi and yin deficiencies. Most patients are extremely Kidney deficient. Since Kidney is the organ that stores jing (essence), deficiency of the Kidney leads to its inability to retain the jing (essence). As a result, the jing (essence) is leaked out from the body through serum protein, albumin, immunoglobulins, red blood cells, blood, and trace minerals.

Kidney DTX uses herbs to tonify the deficiency and drain the excess to treat patients with chronic nephritic and nephrotic syndrome. Huang Qi (Radix Astragali) tonifies qi and regulates water metabolism in the body to reduce edema. Shan Zhu Yu (Fructus Corni) is sour, consolidating Kidney jing (essence). It also has an excellent effect to tonify Kidney yin and jing (essence). Du Zhong (Cortex Eucommiae) tonifies the Kidney yang and strengthens the back to relieve soreness. Shi Wei (Folium Pyrrosiae) dispels dampness and stops bleeding in the urine. Lu Xian Cao (Herba Pyrolae) further helps to stop bleeding. Huang Bo (Cortex Phellodendri Chinensis) clears deficiency heat from the Kidney and reduces chronic inflammation. Fu Ling (Poria) and Bai Mao Gen (Rhizoma Imperatae) dispel dampness and promote urination to relieve edema. Bai Mao Gen (Rhizoma Imperatae) is frequently used for lin zheng (dysuria syndrome) to reduce blood in the urine. Fu Ling (Poria) and Bai Mao Gen (Rhizoma Imperatae) also help Huang Bo (Cortex Phellodendri Chinensis) to clear damp heat in the lower jiao to dispel creatinine and blood urea nitrogen in the blood. Mu Li (Concha Ostreae) and Jin Ying Zi (Fructus Rosae Laevigatae) are astringent herbs used to prevent the loss of Kidney jing (essence) through the urine. They also help keep protein in the body and to avoid protein loss and red blood cells through urine.

Kidney DTX is an excellent formula to treat kidney disorders because it tonifies without causing stagnation and sedates without injuring the body’s constitution. Furthermore, it contains herbs to treat the illness’s cause and symptoms, offering immediate and long-term therapeutic benefits
BACKGROUND

Chronic nephritic syndrome and chronic nephrotic syndromes are two common kidney disorders characterized by blood (hematuria) and protein (proteinuria), respectively. Though the exact pathophysiology differs, these two syndromes have considerable clinical overlap and may occur separately or concurrently. Causes of these kidney disorders include heredity, infection (bacterial, viral, and others), immunologic (autoimmune disease), and drug-induced (i.e., gentamicin, tobramycin, NSAIDs). Optimal treatment requires proper management of the signs and symptoms and identifying and eliminating the cause if possible.
