（是经起于涌泉穴，终于俞府穴。）
肾足少阴之脉，起于小趾之下，邪趋足心，出于然谷之下，循内踝之后，别入跟中，以上 内，出 内廉，
上股内后廉，贯脊属肾络膀胱。其直者，从肾上贯肝膈，入肺中，循喉咙，挟舌本。其支者，从肺出络心，注
胸中。是动则病饥不欲食，面如漆柴，咳唾则有血，喝喝而喘，坐而欲起，目KT KT 如无所见，心如悬若饥
状，气不足则善恐，心惕惕如人将捕之，是为骨厥。是主肾所生病者，口热舌干，咽肿上气，嗌干及痛，烦心
心痛，黄胆，肠 ，脊股内后廉痛，痿厥，嗜卧，足下热而痛。为此诸病，盛
则泻之，虚则补之，热则疾之，寒则留之，陷下则灸之，不盛不虚，以经取之。灸则强食生肉，缓带披发，大
杖重履而步。盛者寸口大再倍于人迎，虚者寸口反小于人迎也。
足少阴肾之脉，受足太阳膀胱之交，起足小趾之下，斜趋足心之涌泉，转出内踝前，起大骨下之然骨，下
循内踝后之太溪，别入跟中之大钟、照海、水泉，乃折自大钟之外，上循内踝，行厥阴、太阴两经之后，经本
经复溜、交信穴，过脾经之三阴交，上 内，循筑宾，出 内廉，抵阴谷，上股内后廉，贯脊，会于督之长强，
还出于前，循横骨、大赫、气穴、四满、中注、肓俞之所，脐之左右，属肾下脐，过任脉之关元、中极，而络
膀胱焉。其直行者，从肓俞属肾处上行，循商曲、石关、阴都、通谷诸穴，贯肝，上循幽门，上膈，历步廊，
入肺中，循神封、灵墟、神藏、 中、俞府，而上循喉咙，并人迎，挟舌本而终。其支者，自神藏别出，绕心
，注胸之膻中，以交于手厥阴心包络经也。
足少阴肾经，起于小脚趾下方，斜向进入足心，出于然谷穴下方，沿着内踝后方行走，分支进入脚跟之中，向上经过小腿肚内侧，出于大腿内侧后缘，贯穿脊柱，归属于肾脏，联络膀胱。其直行的一条支脉，从肾脏向上贯穿肝脏和膈肌，进入肺部，沿着喉咙，夹持舌根。其另一条分支，从肺部出来联络心脏，注入胸中。当这条经脉发生异常变动时，会出现虽然饥饿但不想进食，面色像漆柴一样枯黑，咳嗽吐唾时有血，发出喝喝的声音并气喘，坐着想要站起来，眼睛视物模糊好像看不见东西，心中悬空感觉像饥饿的状态，气不足则容易恐惧，心神不安好像有人要抓捕自己，这称为骨厥。该经主治肾脏所生的疾病，包括口热舌干，咽喉肿痛，气息上逆，咽部干燥及疼痛，心烦心痛，黄疸，腹泻或便秘，脊柱和大腿内侧后缘疼痛，痿证和厥冷，嗜睡，脚底发热而痛。对于这些病症，实证用泻法，虚证用补法，热证用疾刺法，寒证用留针法，下陷的用灸法，不虚不实的，取本经穴位治疗。施灸后应加强饮食以生肌肉，松开腰带披散头发，拄着大拐杖穿着厚重的鞋子慢慢行走。实证表现为寸口脉搏比人迎脉搏大二倍，虚证表现为寸口脉搏反而小于人迎脉搏。
足少阴肾经，接受足太阳膀胱经的交接，起于小脚趾下方，斜向进入足心的涌泉穴，转出内踝前方，起于大骨下方的然骨穴，向下沿着内踝后方的太溪穴，分支进入脚跟中的大钟、照海、水泉穴，然后折返自大钟穴外侧，向上沿着内踝，行走在足厥阴肝经和足太阴脾经两条经脉的后方，经过本经的复溜、交信穴，越过脾经的三阴交穴，向上经过小腿肚内侧，沿着筑宾穴，出于大腿内侧后缘，抵达阴谷穴，向上沿大腿内侧后缘，贯穿脊柱，与督脉的长强穴会合，再返回到身体前侧，沿着横骨、大赫、气穴、四满、中注、肓俞等穴位所在处，在脐部左右两侧，归属于肾脏并在脐下经过，越过任脉的关元、中极穴，从而联络膀胱。其直行的一条支脉，从肓俞穴归属肾脏处上行，沿着商曲、石关、阴都、通谷等穴位，贯穿肝脏，向上沿着幽门穴，穿过膈肌，经过步廊穴，进入肺部，沿着神封、灵墟、神藏、彧中、俞府等穴位，向上沿着喉咙，并入人迎穴，夹持舌根而终结。其分支，从神藏穴别出，环绕心脏，注入胸中的膻中穴，从而与手厥阴心包络经相交接。
(This meridian originates at Yongquan (KI 1) and terminates at Shufu (KI 27).)
The Foot-Shaoyin Kidney Meridian originates below the little toe, slants toward the sole of the foot, emerges below Ran Gu (KI 2), follows behind the medial malleolus, branches into the heel, ascends along the medial aspect of the calf, emerges from the posterior-medial border of the thigh, penetrates the spine, connects with the Kidneys, and links with the Bladder. Its straight branch rises from the Kidneys, passes through the Liver and diaphragm, enters the Lungs, follows the throat, and flanks the root of the tongue. Another branch emerges from the Lungs, connects with the Heart, and pours into the chest. When this meridian is disturbed, pathology manifests as hunger without desire to eat, a face as dark as lacquered charcoal, hemoptysis upon coughing or spitting, panting with a "he-he" sound, an urge to rise when sitting, blurred vision as if unable to see, a sensation of heart hanging in emptiness resembling hunger, and fearfulness due to Qi deficiency, with a startled feeling as if being pursued; this is termed Bone Jue (Bone Reversal). This meridian governs diseases generated by the Kidney, including heat in the mouth and dryness of the tongue, swelling and obstruction in the throat, upward rushing of Qi, dryness and pain in the pharynx, vexation and heart pain, jaundice, intestinal disorders, pain along the posterior-medial border of the spine and thigh, Wei syndrome (flaccidity) and Jue syndrome (cold extremities), somnolence, and heat and pain under the feet. For these conditions: excess is drained, deficiency is tonified, heat is treated with rapid needling, cold is treated with retained needling, sinking is treated with moxibustion, and neither-excess-nor-deficiency cases are treated by selecting points on the affected meridian itself. After moxibustion, one should strengthen diet to generate flesh, loosen belts, let hair down, and walk slowly using a large staff and heavy shoes. In excess patterns, the Cun Kou pulse is twice as large as the Ren Ying pulse; in deficiency patterns, the Cun Kou pulse is smaller than the Ren Ying pulse.
The Foot-Shaoyin Kidney Meridian receives connection from the Foot-Taiyang Bladder Meridian. It originates below the little toe, slants into Yongquan (KI 1) at the sole, turns forward to the medial malleolus, arises below the great bone at Ran Gu (KI 2), descends along Tai Xi (KI 3) behind the medial malleolus, branches into Da Zhong (KI 4), Zhao Hai (KI 6), and Shui Quan (KI 5) within the heel, then returns from outside Da Zhong (KI 4), ascends along the medial malleolus, runs posterior to the Foot-Jueyin Liver and Foot-Taiyin Spleen meridians, passes through Fu Liu (KI 7) and Jiao Xin (KI 8) of its own meridian, crosses San Yin Jiao (SP 6) of the Spleen meridian, ascends along the medial calf, follows Zhu Bin (KI 9), emerges from the posterior-medial border of the thigh, reaches Yin Gu (KI 10), ascends along the posterior-medial border of the thigh, penetrates the spine, meets Chang Qiang (GV 1) of the Du Mai (Conception Vessel), returns to the anterior, follows Heng Gu (KI 11), Da He (KI 12), Qi Xue (KI 13), Si Man (KI 14), Zhong Zhu (KI 15), and Huang Shu (KI 16), located left and right of the umbilicus, connects with the Kidneys below the umbilicus, crosses Guan Yuan (CV 4) and Zhong Ji (CV 3) of the Ren Mai (Conception Vessel), and links with the Bladder. Its straight branch ascends from the point where it connects with the Kidneys at Huang Shu (KI 16), follows Shang Qu (KI 17), Shi Guan (KI 18), Yin Du (KI 19), and Tong Gu (KI 20), penetrates the Liver, ascends along You Men (KI 21), passes through the diaphragm, traverses Bu Lang (KI 22), enters the Lungs, follows Shen Feng (KI 23), Ling Xu (KI 24), Shen Cang (KI 25), Yu Zhong (KI 26), and Shu Fu (KI 27), ascends along the throat, merges with Ren Ying (ST 9), flanks the root of the tongue, and terminates. Its branch diverges from Shen Cang (KI 25), encircles the Heart, pours into Dan Zhong (CV 17) in the chest, and connects with the Hand-Jueyin Pericardium Meridian.
