Kidney-Yang deficiency syndrome, a common traditional Chinese medicine syndrome of diarrhea, has a complex pathogenesis. This paper explores the mechanisms of the development of diarrhea with kidney-Yang deficiency syndrome from three aspects: Gut flora, signaling pathway, and molecules related to the "kidney-gut axis", and tries to identify biomarkers for diarrhea with kidney-Yang deficiency syndrome. It is of great significance to reveal the modern biological connotation of diarrhea with kidney-Yang deficiency syndrome, which can promote the subsequent clinical targeted therapy.
Key Words: Diarrhea with kidney-Yang deficiency syndrome; Gut flora; Signaling pathway; Kidney-gut axis; Modern biological connotation
