“肝豆状核变性”病名悖论

The Name of Hepatolenticular Degeneration Oppugned

摘要:

病名诊断是中医临床诊断的核心内容。针对肝豆状核变性病名在理论上、临床应用上存在的诸多问题,从病名科学化、标准化、规范化的角度,探讨了该病名的不足之处,在复习了大量的古典文献基础上,提出中医用Wilson病或中译名“威尔逊病”取代肝豆状核变性病名,更有利于该病的学术交流和研究。

Abstract:

Disease name diagnosis is the core matter in clinical diagnosis of Traditional Chinese Medicine. The name of Hepatolenticular degeneration has a lot of problems from a scientific, standar dization and normalization point of view. Based on classical literatures, the authors discuss the shortcoming of the disease name and suggest to replace "hepatolenticular degeneration" by "Wilson's disease".
