Application Practice of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Nursing Guided by the "Kidney Collaterals-Sweat Pores" Theory in a Uremia Patient: A Case Report
This paper reports a case of a 52-year-old female patient with chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 5 (uremia stage), with a disease course spanning 7 years and 6 months (from October 2018 to April 2026). Guided by the theory of "kidney collaterals-sweat pores", the medical and nursing team implemented an intervention protocol focusing on "tonifying the kidney and detoxifying, opening the sweat pores and unblocking the collaterals" for the patient. During the non-dialysis period, traditional Chinese herbal colon dialysis was administered, while during the dialysis period, modified ginger-separated gourd moxibustion on the abdomen was applied to protect the peritoneal membrane. Throughout the entire treatment course, the intervention was complemented by Du meridian (Governor Vessel) moxibustion, "four wells" detoxifying Gua Sha (scraping therapy), and auricular therapy, accompanied by syndrome differentiation-based dietary therapy and emotional regulation measures. Following the systematic intervention, the patient's clinical symptoms were improved, with hemoglobin levels rising to 110–115 g/L. Notably, no episode of peritonitis occurred during the 4-year maintenance of peritoneal dialysis, and the patient's quality of life was significantly enhanced. This integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine intervention protocol holds clinical reference value for the chronic disease management of uremia patients.
