腎 (五臓)
1. Kidney (Chinese medicine)According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, the Kidney refers to either of the two viscera located on the small of the back, one either side of the spine. As distinct from the Western medical definition of kidneys, the TCM concept is more a way of describing a set of interrelated parts than an anatomical organ. In TCM there is only one Kidney which includes both left and right kidneys and the space between them - known as the San Jiao or triple warmer (triple burner).
