Essentials for diagnosis 
(1) Some infantile patients have the history of glomerular diseases like acute nephritis, with a course of over one year.

(2) The disease may have no apparent symptoms with slow onset. Edema, hypertension, anemia and proteinuria can be found only during physical examination. The general manifestations include pale complexion, mile edema of eyelids, poor appetite, restlessness, hypodynamia, poor development and malnutrition.

(3) Renal insufficiency may be compensatory at the early stage of different degrees and (or) hypertension may occur.

In TCM, a disease or a symptom might be caused by one pathogenic factor, even two or three pathogenic factors. When diagnosing a disease or a symptom, TCM doctors must follow the principle of "Syndrome Dfferentiation", and then "Suit the Remedy to the Case". In order to gain a more definite and valuable diagnosis, it's important and necessary for the doctor to learn the detailed health information of the patient, including his/her disease duration, age, sex, height, weight, family history, urine, stool, diet, sleep, sweat, energy, mood (emotion), as well as the tongue conditions and the palm conditions, etc. If you would want our expert to create a TCM diagnosis, you're welcome to contact us.
