In traditional Chinese medicine, kidney failure is referred to as 'Guan Ge'.
This illness is characterized by the weakness of the Spleen and Kidney, impaired qi transformation, and turbid evil obstructing the Triple Jiao, resulting in symptoms such as urinary retention and vomiting.
Of course, the most typical symptoms are urinary retention and vomiting.
The name 'Guan Ge' is derived from these main symptoms.
Urinary retention is called 'Guan', while vomiting is called 'Ge'.
This illness is generally rare and only appears when conditions like edema, strangury, or urinary blockage persist and are not cured for a long time.
In simple terms, it's when kidney function is initially damaged and remains untreated for too long, eventually developing into 'Guan Ge'.
