If you look at the tongue, you can also find symptoms such as light tongue texture, white tongue coating, and blue lips.

4. A feeling of fear that arises without reason
The term 'fear' here is different from the usual term 'shock'. Being startled is being startled when something happens suddenly without knowing it beforehand. Fear is commonly known as timidity, and knowing it beforehand is fear. The fear caused by kidney deficiency is generally accompanied by symptoms such as empty mind, forgetfulness, and weak waist and knees, which can be used as a reference for judgment.
5. Frequent and prolonged sneezing
Sneezing caused by kidney qi deficiency is often frequent and persistent, accompanied by symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, soreness or pain in the waist and knees, dull complexion, fear of cold, and lukewarm hands and feet. Patients with allergic rhinitis are more common. For sneezing caused by kidney qi deficiency, it is difficult to cure simply by dispelling pathogenic factors. It is necessary to tonify the kidneys to strengthen the foundation, make the kidney qi strong, have sufficient defensive qi, and enhance the body's ability to resist external pathogens.
6. Urinary frequency+high urinary protein
The standard for healthy urination is: 8 times a day, each time around 300 milliliters, with a total of no more than 3000 milliliters. If it is not caused by drinking water for more than 8 times, it is called frequent urination. Many people think that constantly wanting to urinate is definitely due to kidney deficiency. In fact, most frequent urination is not related to the kidneys.
Frequent urination but low urine output may be a problem with the bladder and urethra; Not only the frequency is high, but also the urine volume is low. It may be a metabolic disease in internal medicine, such as diabetes or polyuria. Only those who urinate frequently and have a high level of urine protein during routine urine tests are likely to have kidney problems.
7. Black and matte surface
Some people have a good complexion themselves, but later their complexion becomes darker and darker. It's important to pay attention to this because your kidney qi is a bit weak. Especially for women, if you don't sleep for a few days, you will immediately develop dark circles under your eyes. The appearance of dark circles under the eyes is a manifestation of kidney deficiency, so everyone should not stay up late all the time. Staying up late is the most harmful thing to the body.
8. There is a foul odor on the body
The smell of the human body can also reflect kidney deficiency. If you recently feel an abnormal and decaying odor on your body, if it goes bad, the person must have kidney deficiency! Because the smell of rotting belongs to the taste of the kidney, the rotting in the five smells (sao, burnt fragrance, fishy, rotting) is the taste of the kidney. Patients with uremia have a foul odor on their bodies. If there is a smell of decay on the body, it indicates that the person has severe kidney disease.
