男子消渴,小便反多,以饮一斗,小便一斗,肾气丸主之。
【注】
饮水多而小便少者,水消于上,故名上消也;食谷多而大便坚者,食消于中,故名中

兼之,以肾为水火之藏也。饮一溲一,其中无热消耗可知矣。故与肾气丸从阴中温养
其阳,使肾阴摄水则不直趋下源,肾气上蒸则能化生津液,何消渴之有耶!

趺阳脉(Duyang Pulse,足背动脉处诊脉点,候胃气)浮而数,浮脉代表气盛,数脉代表消化食物过快且大便坚硬,气盛则小便频数,小便频数则津液亏损致大便更坚,大便坚与小便数相互搏结,即形成消渴病。

“而大坚”一句文意不通,“大”字之下应当有“便”字,可能是传抄遗漏。

趺阳脉是胃脉。胃脉浮盛,重按而数,说明胃气有热,所以容易消化食物。火盛消耗水谷,则大便必然坚硬;气盛消耗水液,则小便必然频数,所以小便频数会导致大便坚硬,大便坚与小便数相互影响,即形成消谷善饥和消渴的疾病。

男子患消渴病,小便反而增多,如果喝水一斗,小便也排出一斗,应用肾气丸(Shenqi Wan, Kidney Qi Pill)主治。
【注释】
饮水多而小便少的,是水被消耗在上焦,所以称为上消(Upper Xiao);吃饭多而大便坚硬的,是食物被消耗在中焦,所以称为中消(Middle Xiao);饮水多而小便反而多的,是水被消耗在下焦,所以称为下消(Lower Xiao)。上消和中消属于热证,只有下消寒热夹杂,因为肾是水火之脏。喝水一斗,小便一斗,其中没有热邪消耗的征象可知。所以给予肾气丸,从阴中温养其阳,使肾阴能够摄纳水液而不直接流向下方源头,肾气上蒸则能化生津液,哪里还会有消渴呢!
【集注】
程林说:小便多则导致消渴,经文说:喝一份尿两份者难治。现在喝一份尿一份,所以用肾气丸治疗。肾中的动气,就是水中的命门之火,下焦肾中的火,蒸腾水的精气,达于上焦,若肺金清肃下行,如同云升雨降,则水精四布,五脏经脉并行,自然没有消渴的祸患。现在此人必定是调养失宜,肾水衰竭,龙雷之火不安于下,只炎上刑克肺金,肺热叶焦,则消渴引饮,其饮入于胃,游溢渗出,下焦无火气化,直入膀胱,则喝一斗尿一斗。所以用桂附肾气丸,助真火蒸化,上升津液,哪里还有消渴呢!

The principal manifestations of Jueyin Disease (Jueyin Bing) include: extreme thirst with excessive drinking (Xiao Ke), sensation of qi rushing upward to the heart region, pain and heat sensation in the epigastrium/heart area, hunger without desire to eat, vomiting of roundworms after eating, and persistent diarrhea if purgatives are mistakenly used.
[Commentary]
This clause describes the proper disease pattern of the Jueyin Meridian in the *Shanghan Lun*, which differs from the meaning of "Xiao Ke" in miscellaneous diseases; this is likely due to textual disorder (cuojian).
@@@
The Cunkou pulse (pulse at the radial artery) is floating and slow. Floating indicates deficiency; slow indicates labor/exhaustion. Deficiency leads to insufficiency of Wei Qi (Defensive Qi); exhaustion leads to depletion of Ying Qi (Nutritive Qi).
[Commentary]
This clause should belong in the chapter on Deficiency Labor (Xulao Pian); its presence here is likely due to textual disorder (cuojian).
[Annotation]
Cunkou refers generally to the three positions on both wrists. A floating pulse that is forceful indicates wind; a floating pulse that is weak indicates deficiency. If it is also slow upon deep pressure, it constitutes a syndrome of Xu Lao (Chronic Deficiency Exhaustion), thus indicating insufficiency of defensive exterior protection and depletion of nutritive interior essence.
@@@
The Duyang pulse (pulse at the dorsalis pedis artery, reflecting Stomach Qi) is floating and rapid. Floating indicates excess of Qi; rapid indicates rapid digestion leading to hard stools. Excess of Qi causes frequent urination; frequent urination leads to dryness/hardness. When hardness and frequency contend together, they form Xiao Ke (Wasting-Thirst).
[Commentary]
The phrase "er da jian" (and greatly hard) is grammatically incomplete; there should be a character for "stool" (bian) after "da"; this is likely an omission during transcription.
[Annotation]
Duyang is the Stomach pulse. A floating and vigorous pulse that becomes rapid upon pressure indicates Heat in Stomach Qi, hence the tendency to digest food rapidly. Excessive Fire consuming food grains results in hard stools; Excess Qi consuming fluids results in frequent urination. Thus, frequent urination leads to hard stools. The interplay between hard stools and frequent urination constitutes the disease of excessive digestion and Wasting-Thirst.
@@@
A rapid Duyang pulse indicates Heat in the Stomach, leading to excessive appetite and digestion, hard stools, and frequent urination.
[Annotation]
This reiterates the meaning of the previous clause regarding hard stools and frequent urination.
@@@
When men suffer from Xiao Ke (Wasting-Thirst), their urination is abnormally increased. If one dou of fluid intake results in one dou of urine output, Shenqi Wan (Kidney Qi Pill) is the primary treatment.
[Annotation]
When fluid intake is high but urine output is low, fluids are consumed in the Upper Jiao, termed Upper Xiao (Upper Wasting-Thirst). When food intake is high but stools are hard, food is consumed in the Middle Jiao, termed Middle Xiao (Middle Wasting-Thirst). When fluid intake is high and urine output is also high, fluids are consumed in the Lower Jiao, termed Lower Xiao (Lower Wasting-Thirst). Upper and Middle Xiao belong to Heat patterns; only Lower Xiao involves both Cold and Heat, because the Kidney is the residence of Water and Fire. The ratio of one dou intake to one dou output indicates no Heat consumption within. Therefore, Shenqi Wan is prescribed to warm and nourish Yang from within Yin, enabling Kidney Yin to retain fluids rather than draining directly downward, and allowing Kidney Qi to ascend and transform into body fluids, thus resolving Wasting-Thirst.
[Collected Annotations]
Cheng Lin stated: Frequent urination leads to Wasting-Thirst. The classics state: "One part drink, two parts urine" is incurable. Now, with one part drink and one part urine, Shenqi Wan is used. The moving Qi in the Kidney is the Life Fire within Water. The Fire in the Lower Jiao Kidney steams the essence of water upward to the Upper Jiao. If Lung Metal descends clearly, like clouds rising and rain falling, water essence distributes everywhere, and the five meridians function in harmony, avoiding Wasting-Thirst. However, this person likely suffered from improper regimen, leading to Kidney Water depletion. Dragon-Li Fire rests uneasily below, flaring upward to damage Lung Metal. Lung Heat scorches leaves, causing Wasting-Thirst and craving for drinks. The drink enters the Stomach, overflows, and since there is no Fire below to transform it, it goes straight to the Bladder, resulting in one dou in, one dou out. Thus, Guifu Shenqi Wan is used to assist True Fire in steaming and transforming, ascending fluids, eliminating Wasting-Thirst.
Shen Mingzong stated: The term "Men" refers to cases where sexual exhaustion damages the Kidney, creating Wasting-Thirst through Hyperactive Fire and Deficient Water.
