WHAT’S DAMP HEAT?
Damp-heat (DH) syndrome is a status of disharmony that often occurs when dampness binds with heat evil. DH syndrome can be seen in a variety of modern medical diseases and is a common syndrome pattern in chronic liver disease. This pattern often results from the internal accumulation of damp heat and is characterized by distending pain/masses in the subcostal region, thirst, and a bitter mouth. The tongue is red with a yellow, greasy coating. The pulse is slippery and rapid. DH syndrome is very common in patients with chronic liver diseases, which is accounting for 21.9% of NAFLD patients (Li et al., 2019; Zhou et al., 2022). According to a systematic review based on 20,106 participants, DH occurs in 32.2% of all patients with CHB (Zeng et al., 2011). A crucial concept in TCM theory is that “different diseases have the same syndrome”.
For example, Yinchenhao decoction is a classic Chinese medicine prescription, widely used in various liver diseases accompanied by dampness-heat syndrome and jaundice. Therefore, DH syndrome may share a common biological basis in different liver diseases.
In recent years, multi-omics have linked TCM and biomolecular changes. Our previous study showed that CHB and NAFLD patients with DH syndrome have certain common urinary metabolic disorders (Dai et al., 2013). According to TCM theory, DH syndrome reflects systemic changes in the entire body but mainly indicates dysfunction in digestive tract organs, such as the stomach, intestines, and liver. The human gastrointestinal system contains trillions of microorganisms. Gut microbiota strongly influences host homeostasis (Fan and Pedersen, 2021).
