Older people often feel weakness and soreness of the knees and back, and a lot of people familiar with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) suspect that they have Kidney Deficiency, a.k.a. Kidney Xu. In fact, the Kidney Deficiency is divided into many concepts by Chinese medicine. The most common concepts are Kidney Yin Deficiency and Kidney Yang Deficiency. The symptoms of Kidney Yang Deficiency: backache, cold extremities, chills, and even edema; symptoms of Kidney Yin Deficiency are "hot" signs and mainly backache, hot flashes, night sweats, sweating without exertion, dizziness and etc. In addition, the Chronic Kidney Qi Deficiency and Kidney Essence Deficiency may also cause discomfort in other parts of the body.  We will go over these common symptoms below and blog entries of the next few days.

Frequent yawning and feelings of fatigue: Kidney is the foundation of pre-heavenly constitution, stored within the Kidney are the Essence and Qi that is the raw power for the activities of human life, with adequate Kidney Essence, one feels energetic and fitter; with deficient Kidney Essence, the human spirit and the body are not sufficient nourished, one feels fatigue and yawns frequently.

My husband has an ectopic kidney, placed on the left side of his abdomen against his intestine. Does this have an effect on his qi?

Ms. Conticchio, so Qi can be affected by the physical organ(s), but often it is not directly corrleated. The energic/flow of Qi, more like a river, is less affected by detours (turns of a river) and more on blockage(s) (dam, stagnation)
