Patient's question:
Recently, my appetite has been poor, and I've also noticed some swelling in my body. I feel completely exhausted. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it's kidney disease. How can I determine if I have kidney deficiency?Doctor's answer:
In your case, sometimes occasional lower back and back pain does not necessarily mean you are experiencing kidney deficiency. The term "kidney deficiency" is a very broad concept, which also includes kidney yin deficiency and kidney yang deficiency. If these conditions truly occur, the body will feel different degrees of discomfort. If you want to determine whether you have kidney deficiency, it is best to consult a doctor for an accurate assessment, which is more meaningful.
