This paper reports the results of epidemiological survey about liver diseases of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). It surveyed 5606 patients at the general hospitals, and 1013 (18.07%) of them were patients with liver diseases (TCM), including 61 cases of liver Qi depression syndrome, 215 cases of liver depression and Spleen deficiency syndrome, 135 cases of liver and gallbladder damp-heat syndrome, 79 cases of liver Fire flaming syndrome, 145 cases of liver Yang rising syndrome, 209 cases of liver Wind agitation syndrome, 62 cases of liver blood deficiency syndrome, 86 cases of liver-kidney Yin deficiency syndrome and 21 cases of liver cold syndrome. The results showed that constitution ration of liver diseases (TCM). It supplies some scientific data for the clinic and research of liver diseases (TCM).

By means of TCM differentiation of symptom-complexes, the authors tested and analysed the urine osmotic pressure (UOP) and the urine and plasma osmotic ratio (UPOR) for 428 cases of renal disease, with the conclusion that the UOP and the UPOR were within the normal value range for not only the 36 cases lack of clinical symptoms so as to be unable to have TCM classification identified, but also for 24 cases of Wind edema excess syndrome mainly caused by pathogenic Wind's invasion to the Lung. But for 74 cases of damp-heat Kidney impairment and 294 cases with the main symptom being Kidney deficiency [including weakness of Qi of Kidney, Yang deficiency of Spleen and Kidney, Yin deficiency of Liver and Kidney], the value of their UOP and the UPOR had the tendency of reduction (P less than 0.01), among which the value of the patients of Kidney Yang deficiency reduced most obviously. The further observation showed that, for the nocturia patients caused by renal disease, the value of UOP and the UPOR reduced more obviously than usual. Therefore the authors assert that the test on UOP and UPOR will offer an objective index to patients' nocturia and Kidney-Qi weakness. 60 cases with renal disease of Kidney deficiency syndrome and 27 cases of damp-heat Kidney impairment syndrome under the diagnosis and treatment based on an overall analysis of symptoms and signs leads to the following conclusion: With the elimination of pathogenic factors and recovery of kidney, the damp-heat Kidney impairment patients' UOP will be increased. The low UOP of patients caused simply by Kidney deficiency, however, will recover slower.
