With the development of modern immunology, this paper discusses the theoretical basis for chronic hepatitis B by tonifying kidney method. It is believed that kidney deficiency is the key pathogenesis, which related to the immune system, especially the dysfunction of innate immunity. Tonifying kidney can eliminate the virus and protect the hepatocytes, so as to avoid liver cirrhosis and liver cancer in a long-term.
