Objective: This study aims to analyze the Traditional Chinese Medicines(TCMs) from ''Danxi's Mastery of Medicine'' applicable to chronic kidney disease (CKD), elucidating the diagnostic principles, characteristics of TCMs combinations, and drug association rules for clinical reference. Materials and Methods: Using ChatGPT3.5, this study collected and compared traditional Chinese medical symptoms and corresponding TCMs related to CKD symptoms described in ''Danxi's Mastery of Medicine''. Microsoft 365 Excel was utilized for frequency analysis of TCMs. IBM SPSS Statistics 18 and Cytoscape 3.9.0 were used for complex network analysis of the drugs to identify core high-frequency medications. Association rule analysis using the Apriori algorithm and hierarchical clustering was conducted to hypothesize potential herbal combinations. Results: The core high-frequency medications included Poria, Rehmannia glutinosa, Ginseng, Honey-fried Licorice Root, and Chinese Yam. The primary functions of these TCMs were to strengthen the spleen and kidney, enrich the blood, invigorate blood circulation, and promote diuresis and dampness removal. The predominant flavors of these TCMs were sweet > bitter > pungent, and their properties were mainly warm > cold > neutral, primarily associated with the spleen and kidney meridians. Combinations derived from the Apriori algorithm were classified under Liu Wei Di Huang Wan and its derivatives, while hierarchical clustering analysis identified related TCMs of San Cai Feng Sui Dan. Conclusion: Zhu Dan-xi’s approach to treating CKD and its common symptoms emphasizes the pathological mechanisms of spleen and kidney deficiency, blood stasis and deficiency, as well as phlegm-dampness. The therapeutic methods focus primarily on nourishing the spleen and kidney, enriching and invigorating the blood, supplemented by promoting diuresis and dampness removal, consolidating essence, and clearing heat and dryness. Formulations like Liu Wei Di Huang Wan and its derivatives, combined with Feng Sui Dan, kidney-yang tonics, and diuresis-promoting herbs can be adjusted according to specific symptoms. |
