Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and Western medicine have the common purpose and can complement each other, though they belong to different medical systems. Laboratory medicine can provide the scientific bases for modernization and standardization of TCM by offering elaborate and objective laboratory data. Fully playing the role of laboratory medicine in TCM diagnosis and treatment will not only be beneficial to the rush of TCM out of China toward the world, and also be favorable to the innovating and developing of laboratory medicine in integrative medicine.
中医和西医虽属于不同的医学体系,但有着共同的目标且能相互补充。检验医学可以通过提供精细、客观的实验室数据,为中医的现代化和标准化提供科学依据。充分发挥检验医学在中医诊疗中的作用,不仅有利于中医走出国门走向世界,也有利于检验医学在中西医结合医学中的创新与发展。
