Professor Lü Renhe, a renowned master of traditional Chinese medicine, has devoted nearly 60 years to clinical practice and has made significant contributions in the fields of diabetes and nephrology. He creatively proposed the “Six-Pair Approach to Treatment,” a systematic framework for clinical reasoning that provides a clear guiding principle while simplifying complex cases. This approach not only embodies the principles of “syndrome differentiation and individualized treatment” and a holistic perspective but also offers a well-defined roadmap for understanding the relationships among disease, syndrome, and symptoms.
Professor Lü classifies diabetes into three stages—“Pi Dan,” “Xiao Ke,” and “Xiao Dan”—and tailors treatment to the pathogenic mechanisms of each stage. During the Pi Dan stage, therapy primarily focuses on clearing and draining damp‑heat from the middle burner, with relatively limited use of Ganoderma lucidum. In the Xiao Ke stage, the emphasis is on clearing heat, nourishing yin, and tonifying qi; Ganoderma may be employed to tonify qi, but at a modest dose, typically 10–15 g. By the Xiao Dan stage, the degree of deficiency in qi, blood, yin, and yang, as well as the extent of turbid toxins and blood stasis, determines the intensity of tonifying deficiency versus expelling pathogenic factors. As the deficiency of vital qi becomes more pronounced, the dosage of Ganoderma can be increased to 30 g.
