Abstract:Gout is a chronic non-communicable disease characterized by a long course,recurrent symptoms,and variable syndrome manifestations. This article summarizes the clinical experience of Professor FAN Guanjie in treating gout. Professor FAN holds that the fundamental cause of gout lies in disorders of the spleen and stomach′s transportation and transformation functions, which are induced by indulgence in greasy, sweet, rich, alcoholic, spicy, and pungent foods. Meanwhile, excessive drinking, overeating, overwork, and environmental factors serve as precipitating causes. Based on the theory of "dynamic-static sequential FAN′s eight therapeutic methods", the core symptoms,core pathogenesis,and core herbal combinations corresponding to gout are summarized. It is proposed that on the basis of integrating disease diagnosis with syndrome differentiation and staging syndrome differentiation, the treatment should be carried out using the thinking system of "dynamic-static sequential FAN′s eight therapeutic methods".
