KD-15 is located on the abdomen, 0.5 cun lateral to the centre of the umbilicus. Which point is this?

• A. KD-15
• B. REN-11
• C. REN-7
• D. KD-16

Answer: (A)

The location described uses the umbilicus as a reference point and calls for a point that sits a short distance off the midline, 0.5 cun lateral to the center of the umbilicus. That exact spot corresponds to a Kidney channel point known as KD-15, which is placed just to the side of the navel on the abdomen.

Ren points, like Ren-11 or Ren-7, lie on the midline along the Ren vessel, so they would be on the center line rather than off to the side. KD-16 sits in the same general area near the umbilicus but at a different offset along the Kidney channel, not described as 0.5 cun lateral to the center. So the description fits KD-15 most precisely.
