Exploring the pathogenesis of Takayasu arteritis from a theory of "heat-toxin in blood vessels developing into lumps"
Takayasu arteritis (TAK) is a chronic granulomatous vasculitis with an unknown etiology that often manifests over time. It has a dismal prognosis and is currently clinically refractory. The theory of poisonous evil has drawn more attention in recent years in the treatment of autoimmune disorders. Poisonous evil tends to accumulate and transform into heat
which causes a variety of symptoms to gradually emerge. Our team believes that the main cause of TAK is the prolonged stagnation of poisonous evil
the transformation of heat into fire
and the damage to the vessels and collaterals. Blood stasis is the basic pathogenesis. This disease is located in the blood vessels
which is also closely related to the spleen and kidney. TAK also belongs to a deficiency in origin and excess in superficislity. Kidney and spleen deficiencies
and a lack of essence and blood
cause only partially filled blood vessels and restricted blood flow. The collection of evil qi and the transformation of heat-toxin culminates in the accumulation of heat-toxin and congestion of blood vessels. The illness persists and the evil qi remains and penetrates the internal organs
causing a lack of vital qi
and the viscera loses its nourishment. Unblocking the blood vessels and boosting blood circulation is the cornerstone of clinical treatment. The focus of treatment is on removing heat-toxin during the active phase
while during the remission phase
the focus is on strengthening the spleen and kidney
nourishing the vessels
taking into consideration detoxification
and dredging collaterals. The goal of the cicatricial period is to dredge collaterals in order to enrich vital qi. Based on relevant theories of traditional Chinese medicine and pathological mechanisms research of western medicine
the significance of heat-toxin in the pathogenesis of TAK is explained. Our team believes that the heat-toxin in blood vessels developing into lumps is the vasculature are the cause of the disease’s morbidity. The heat-toxin can be cleared to remove blood stasis and eliminate lumps
which will improve clinical symptoms
slow the disease’s progression
and provide ideas for clinical treatment.
