Can the Chinese medicine pulse judge kidney deficiency?

Traditional Chinese medicine can assist in the diagnosis of kidney deficiency, but it cannot be diagnosed.

Kidney is the innate foundation, in charge of growth and development, reproduction, water metabolism and other functions. Kidney deficiency can cause kidney function to decline or weaken. When taking the pulse, TCM doctors will observe the changes of pulse, such as thin and deep pulse, etc., in combination with other symptoms and signs to assist in determining whether there is the possibility of kidney deficiency. However, other diseases can also appear above pulse, so it is impossible to diagnose kidney deficiency by pulse feeling.

If a definite diagnosis is needed, a comprehensive judgment should be made according to the patient's medical history, tongue diagnosis, consultation and other information to assess the possibility of kidney deficiency.
