经义
胞移热于膀胱，则癃、溺血。○悲哀太甚，则胞络绝，胞络绝则阳气内动，发为心下崩，数溲血也。（《素问》）
哲言
溺血所出之由有三，从溺孔出者二，从精孔出者一。（张景岳）
溺血全无疼痛，血从精窍而出，非若血淋茎痛血从溺窍而出也。（《证治汇补》）
溺血者，盖心主血与小肠合，血之流行，周遍经络，循环脏腑，若热聚于膀胱，血渗入脬，故从小便而出
也。（钱仲阳）
《经》云∶悲哀太甚，则胞络绝，阳气内动，发为心下崩，数溲血也。又云∶胞移热于膀胱，则癃、溺血。
是溺血未有不本于热者。陈无择以为心肾气结所致，不思血虽主于心，其四脏孰无血以为养？所尿之血，岂拘
于心肾气结者哉？推之五脏，凡有损伤妄行之血，皆得如心下崩者，渗于胞中；五脏之热，皆得如膀胱之移热者，
传于下焦。何以言之？肺金者，肾水之母，恃之通调水道，下输膀胱者也。肺有损伤，妄行之血若气逆上者，
既为呕血矣，气不逆上，如之何不从水道下降入于胞中耶？其热亦直抵肾与膀胱可知也。脾土者，胜水之贼邪
也。水精不布，则壅成湿热，陷下伤于水道，肾与膀胱俱受其害，害则阴络伤，伤则血散入胞中矣。肝属阳，
主生化，主疏泄，主藏血；肾属阴，血闭藏而不固，必渗入胞中，正与《内经》所谓肝伤血枯，时时前后血者
类也。大抵溲血、淋血、便血三者，虽前后阴所出之窍有不同，然于受病则一，故治分标本亦一也。维引导佐
使，各走其乡者，少异耳。（《证治准绳》）
大便下血不死；小便下血多死；年过七旬，服药无效。（许宣治）
补编
溺孔之血，其来近者，出自膀胱，其证溺时必孔道涩痛，小水热赤不利。此多以酒色欲念，致动下焦之火
而然。常见相火妄动，逆而不通者，微则淋浊，甚则见血。《经》曰∶胞移热于膀胱，则癃、溺血。治宜清利
膀胱之火。○溺孔之血，其来远者，出自小肠，其证溺孔不痛，血随溺出，或痛隐于脐腹，或热见于脏腑。盖
小肠与心为表里，此丙火气化之原，清浊所由分也。无论焦心劳力，浓味酒浆，而上中二焦之火，凡从清道
以降者，必皆由小肠以达膀胱，治须随证察因，以清脏腑致火之原。○精道之血，必自精宫血海而出于命门。
盖肾者主水，受五脏六腑之精而藏之。凡劳伤五脏，或五志之火，致令冲任动血者，多从精道而出。何以辨之？
但辨在小肠者，必从溺孔出；病在命门者，必从精孔出。凡于小腹下，精泄处，觉酸痛而出者，即是命门之病。
治法与水道不同，盖水道之血宜利，精道之血不宜利；涩痛不通者宜利，血滑不痛者不宜利也。（张景岳）
尿血，虚者居多，有火亦能作痛，当与血淋同治。清之不愈，专究乎虚，上则主于心脾，下则从乎肝肾，
久则主于八脉。（《临证指南》）
溺血治法∶暴病实火，宜甘寒清火；房劳虚损，宜滋阴补肾；病久中枯，非清心静养不可治也。（《证治汇补》）

[Scriptural Interpretation]
When heat from the Bao (uterus/lower jiao organs) shifts to the Bladder, it results in strangury (difficulty in urination) and hematuria. ○ Excessive grief severs the Bao Collaterals; when the Bao Collaterals are severed, Yang Qi moves internally, causing "collapse below the heart" (upper abdominal bleeding), manifesting as frequent passage of bloody urine. (From *Su Wen*)
[Philosophical Remarks]
There are three origins for hematuria: two types exit from the urinary meatus, and one type exits from the seminal meatus. (Zhang Jingyue)
Hematuria is completely painless, with blood exiting from the seminal orifice; this differs from blood strangury, which involves pain in the glans penis and blood exiting from the urinary orifice. (*Zhengzhi Huibu*)
Regarding hematuria, since the Heart governs Blood and has an interior-exterior relationship with the Small Intestine, blood circulates through the collaterals and viscera. If heat gathers in the Bladder, blood infiltrates the bladder sac and is thus discharged via urination. (Qian Zhongyang)
The Classics state: "Excessive grief severs the Bao Collaterals; when the Bao Collaterals are severed, Yang Qi moves internally, causing 'collapse below the heart,' manifesting as frequent passage of bloody urine." It also states: "When heat from the Bao shifts to the Bladder, it results in strangury and hematuria."
Thus, hematuria invariably originates from heat. Chen Wuyue attributed it to the binding of Heart and Kidney Qi, failing to consider that although the Heart governs Blood, do not the other four Zang organs also possess blood for nourishment? Is the blood passed in urine restricted only to cases of Heart-Kidney Qi binding? Extending this to all five Zang organs, any blood that flows recklessly due to injury can infiltrate the Bao like "collapse below the heart"; heat from any Zang organ can transmit to the Lower Jiao like heat shifting to the Bladder. Why? The Lung (Metal) is the mother of Kidney (Water), relying on its function of diffusing and descending water passages to transport fluids downward to the Bladder. If the Lung is injured, reckless blood rising with rebellious Qi becomes hematemesis; if Qi does not rebel upward, how would it not descend via the water passages into the Bao? Its heat would naturally reach the Kidneys and Bladder. Spleen (Earth) is the controlling factor of Water. If water essence fails to distribute, it stagnates into damp-heat, sinking to damage the water passages, harming both the Kidneys and Bladder; when harmed, the Yin collaterals are damaged, and blood scatters into the Bao. Liver belongs to Yang, governing transformation, production, free flow, and storing Blood; Kidney belongs to Yin. If Blood is stored but not secured, it inevitably infiltrates the Bao, similar to what the *Nei Jing* describes as Liver injury leading to blood depletion and frequent bleeding from both anterior and posterior orifices. Generally, hematuria, blood strangury, and hematochezia differ only in the orifices of discharge (anterior vs. posterior), but their pathogenesis is identical; thus, the principles of treating root and branch are the same. Differences lie only in the guiding herbs (assistant and envoy drugs) directing action to specific areas. (*Zhizhun Zhunsheng*)
Lower gastrointestinal bleeding is not necessarily fatal; lower urinary tract bleeding is often fatal; in patients over seventy, ineffective medication indicates a poor prognosis. (Xu Xuanzhi)
[Supplemental Compilation]
Blood from the urinary meatus originating nearby comes from the Bladder. Symptoms include painful, difficult urination with scanty, hot, red urine. This is mostly caused by excessive alcohol consumption, sexual indulgence, or lustful thoughts stirring up Fire in the Lower Jiao. Commonly, when Ministerial Fire moves recklessly and Qi rebels without flowing smoothly, mild cases present as turbid strangury, while severe cases present with visible blood. The Classics say: "When heat from the Bao shifts to the Bladder, it results in strangury and hematuria." Treatment should focus on clearing and draining Bladder Fire. ○ Blood from the urinary meatus originating distantly comes from the Small Intestine. Symptoms include painless urination with blood mixed in urine, or hidden pain in the umbilical/abdominal region, or heat sensations in the viscera. Since the Small Intestine and Heart have an interior-exterior relationship, this is the source of Bing Fire's qi transformation and the division of clear and turbid substances. Regardless of mental exertion, fatigue, rich flavors, or alcohol, Fire from the Upper and Middle Jiao descending via the clear pathways must pass through the Small Intestine to reach the Bladder. Treatment requires examining the syndrome and cause to clear the root of Fire generation in the viscera. ○ Blood from the seminal meatus originates from the Essence Palace and Sea of Blood at the Mingmen. The Kidney governs Water and stores the essence of all Zang and Fu organs. Cases where Five Zang organs are injured by labor, or Fire generated by Five Emotions causes Chong and Ren vessels to disturb Blood, usually bleed from the seminal meatus. How to differentiate? If the disease is in the Small Intestine, blood exits from the urinary meatus; if the disease is at Mingmen, blood exits from the seminal meatus. Pain and soreness felt at the lower abdomen near the seminal emission point indicate a Mingmen pathology. The treatment method differs from water pathway disorders: blood from the water pathway should be promoted/drainaged, whereas blood from the seminal pathway should not be drained; painful obstruction should be drained, while slippery non-painful discharge should not be drained. (Zhang Jingyue)
Hematuria is mostly due to deficiency. Even with Fire, pain may occur, so it should be treated similarly to blood strangury. If clearing heat fails, investigate deficiency specifically: upper body issues relate primarily to Heart and Spleen, lower body to Liver and Kidney, and chronic cases involve the Eight Extraordinary Vessels. (*Linzheng Zhinan Yitan*)
Treatment methods for hematuria: Acute conditions with excess Fire require sweet-cold herbs to clear Fire; deficiency damage from sexual exhaustion requires nourishing Yin and tonifying Kidney; chronic conditions with central depletion require calming the Heart and restful cultivation to cure. (*Zhengzhi Huibu*)
Kidney Yin deficiency with heat accumulation in the Lower Jiao, causing blood to follow urine, is treated with Liuwei Dihuang Tang (Six-Ingredient Pill with Rehmannia) plus Niuxi (Achyranthes Root) to anchor Yang. ○ Chronic hematuria unresponsive to repeated clearing and draining medications responds well to Buzhong Yiqi Tang (Tonify the Middle and Augment the Qi Decoction) plus Cheqianzi (Plantago Seed). (*Jianwen Lu*)
[Pulse Diagnosis]
In cases of hematuria with emaciation, a small and forceful pulse indicates an adverse prognosis; a rapid and surging pulse is also adverse. (*Zhizhun Zhunsheng*)
[Selected Cases]
I treated a patient with hematuria recurring every two to three years. After administering Buzhong Yiqi Tang added with Huangbai (Phellodendron Bark) and Shanzhi (Gardenia Fruit), the bleeding stopped after several doses. I also treated another patient whose urine contained blood clots; despite medication, he died. (Xu Xuanzhi)
My brother-in-law, Gu Yuanshu, suffered from hematuria with urinary pain, generalized numbness, dizziness, blurred vision, and cramping/soreness/numbness in the meridians of the hands and feet. His pulse was wiry, thin, and rapid, with firm pulses at both Chi positions. I prescribed Shengliao Liuwei Tang (Raw Ingredient Six-Ingredient Decoction) added with Niuxi (Achyranthes Root) and Dongchongxiacao (Ophiopogon Tuber). He responded immediately, but the condition recurred intermittently. Later, combining Liuwei Tang with Shengmai San (Generate the Pulse Powder), and using Heche (Placenta Hominis) boiled into a paste for pills, he recovered. ○ A merchant drank excessive distilled liquor in summer and developed hematuria. Yi Yuan San (Benefit Elemental Powder) and Liuwei Tang were ineffective. I used Daochi San (Direct Red Powder), and he was cured after three doses. ○ Song Xiaoxian, over seventy years old, had scanty, painful hematuria unresponsive to various medicines. He attributed it to celibacy starting too early in his youth. I instructed him to soak mung beans in water, crush them to extract juice, warm it slightly, and drink one bowl daily. He recovered; cooking the beans rendered them ineffective. (*Zhangshi Yitong*)
