形体消瘦而脉象洪大，胸中气逆壅盛者，主死；腹泻而又见汗出者，主死；身体发热不因出汗而减退、不因泄泻而减轻者，主死；咳嗽且上气喘促、下利泄泻者，主死；大腿肌肉严重消脱者，主死；一侧肢体无法安卧睡眠者，多主死；五十岁以下出现阳痿者，多主死。
痨病日久，出现咳嗽咯血、咽喉疼痛且声音嘶哑失音的，这是病邪自下焦传至上焦；若不咳嗽不疼痛，日久出现小便浑浊、精气滑脱的，这是病邪自上传至下焦，这两种情况都属于死证。

Emaciation with a large pulse and excessive Qi in the chest indicates death; diarrhea accompanied by sweating indicates death; body heat that does not subside after sweating nor decrease after purgation indicates death; coughing with upper asthma and lower diarrhea indicates death; severe emaciation of the thigh muscles indicates death; inability to sleep on one side suggests a high mortality rate; impotence in individuals under fifty years of age suggests a high mortality rate.
In consumptive disease (Lao Ji), if it persists for a long time leading to coughing with hemoptysis, throat pain, and loss of voice, this is transmission from below to above; if there is no cough or pain, but over time turbid urine and essence depletion occur, this is transmission from above to below. Both are fatal conditions.
For detailed pulse diagnosis, please refer to the "Continued Discussion Chapter".
