Krasenlehre

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Under Krasenlehre illness perceptions are understood to assign to the mixture of humors fundamental to health and disease. The theory is based on earlier Krasis teachings (based for example on Alkmaion , Empedocles and Polybos, the pupil and son-in-law of Hippocrates ) and humoral pathological ideas of Polybos, Hippocrates and Galenus . In a narrower sense, the term was used in connection with the "blood pathology" Carl von Rokitanskys (1804–1878). After a clear criticism by Rudolf Virchow , Rokitansky dropped the Krasen doctrine.
