Body Fluids Flashcards
These factors contribute to?
- Excessive consumption of body fluid due to high fever, profuse sweating, excessive vomiting, excessive diarrhea, and profuse urine
- Consumption of fluid by dryness and heat
- Insufficiency of body fluid due to scanty drinking of water and decline of organ qi
Insufficiency of Body Fluids
What are the causes for Insufficiency of Body Fluids
- Excessive consumption of body fluid due to high fever, profuse sweating, excessive vomiting, excessive diarrhea, and profuse urine
- Consumption of fluid by dryness and heat
- Insufficiency of body fluid due to scanty drinking of water and decline of organ qi
These are the symptoms of?
Dry mouth, lips, tongue, throat, and skin, sunken orbit, thirst with desire for water, scanty urine, retention of dry feces, dry tongue with scanty saliva, thin and choppy pulse.
“Key points for syndrome differentiation”
Dry mouth, lips, tongue, throat and skin, scanty urine and dry feces.
Insufficiency of Body Fluids
List the symptoms for Insufficiency of Body Fluids
Dry mouth, lips, tongue, throat, and skin, sunken orbit, thirst with desire for water, scanty urine, retention of dry feces, dry tongue with scanty saliva, thin and choppy pulse.
“Key points for syndrome differentiation”

“Key points for syndrome differentiation”

These are the etiology factors causing?
- Long heat due to deficiency of yin evaporates body fluid, congeals it into phlegm
- Emotional stress may produce heat which burns body fluid
- Invasion by cold dampness or too much greasy food results in dysfunction of spleen and stomach
- Deficiency of kidney qi fails to govern body fluid, the fluid spreads over
- Phlegm is produced by six pathogenic factors (six exterior evils) which cause spleen and lung confusion and result in indigestion
Phlegm Syndrome
What are the causes for Phlegm Syndrome
- Long heat due to deficiency of yin evaporates body fluid, congeals it into phlegm
- Emotional stress may produce heat which burns body fluid
- Invasion by cold dampness or too much greasy food results in dysfunction of spleen and stomach
- Deficiency of kidney qi fails to govern body fluid, the fluid spreads over
- Phlegm is produced by six pathogenic factors (six exterior evils) which cause spleen and lung confusion and result in indigestion
These are the manifestations for
Cough with sticky sputum, chest oppression, or dizziness, or epigastric mass, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, or coma with sputum rale, or mental derangement with mania, dementia and epilepsy, or numbness of limbs, hemiplegia, or scrofula, goiter, breast nodules, subcutaneous nodule, greasy coating and slippery pulse.
“Key points for syndrome differentiation”
Vomiting of sputum or dizziness, or coma with sputum rale, numbness of limbs, or phlegm nodules, greasy tongue coating and slippery pulse.

Phlegm can be divided in to 5 categories what are they?
- Heat Phlegm “Yellow sticky”
- Cold Phlegm “White, clear, thin”
- Damp Phlegm “White, slippery, profuse in quantity”
- Dry Phlegm “Less in quantity, sticky, hard to expectorate”
- Wind Phlegm “Clear, thin with a lot of bubbles”
Remember
- Heat Phlegm “Yellow sticky”
- Cold Phlegm “White, clear, thin”
- Damp Phlegm “White, slippery, profuse in quantity”
- Dry Phlegm “Less in quantity, sticky, hard to expectorate”
- Wind Phlegm “Clear, thin with a lot of bubbles”
- Heat Phlegm “Yellow sticky”
- Cold Phlegm “White, clear, thin”
- Damp Phlegm “White, slippery, profuse in quantity”
- Dry Phlegm “Less in quantity, sticky, hard to expectorate”
- Wind Phlegm “Clear, thin with a lot of bubbles”
These can cause?
- Six exogenous pathogenic factors (six exterior evils)
- Overstrain and weakness
Fluid Retention
What are some of the causes for Fluid Retention?
- Six exogenous pathogenic factors (six exterior evils)
- Overstrain and weakness
Fluid retention is identified by where it is located. What are they?
- Phlegm fluid-retention (in a narrow sense); “Stomach and Intestines”
- Suspended fluid-retention; “Hypochondrium”
- Sustained fluid-retention; “Above Diaphragm”
- Extravasating fluid retention “In Limbs”
