Definition
Deficiency of Kidney yin fails to nourish and restrain yang.
Clinical Meaning
Sore low back and knees, tinnitus, dizziness, night sweats, five-center heat, red tongue with scant coat, thin rapid pulse.
Common Patterns / Clues
Sore low back and knees, tinnitus, dizziness, night sweats, five-center heat, red tongue with scant coat, thin rapid pulse.
Differentiation
Unlike Kidney yang deficiency, Kidney yin deficiency centers on deficient heat, dryness, and night sweating rather than cold limbs and clear frequent urination.
Pitfall / Exam Tip
When the stem combines low-back weakness, tinnitus, night symptoms, and a red scant-coated tongue, think Kidney yin deficiency before being distracted by vague fatigue cues.
