When the condition of yang deficiency exist with shenxu (kidney deficient) condition, it is called shenyangxu. Although shen means kidney, do not confuse with the anatomy term "kidney." Shenyangxu patients can have:
low levels of cAMP
relatively high levels of cGMP
low levels of adrenocortical hormone
low levels of epinephrine & norepinephrine
incorrect levels of electrolyte, low level of sodium and high level of potassium.
incorrect levels of diuretic hormone and anti-diuretic hormone. Sometimes the diuretic hormone can be high and sometimes the antidiuretic hormone can be high.
over active parasympathetic nervous system
under active sympathetic nervous system
low levels of plasma adrenocorticotropic hormone
low levels of thyroid hormone, low or slow reaction to TRH test
circadian rhythms of 11-OHS abnormal 11-OHS

Weakness in the loins, and legs, cold lower part of the body (waist, legs and feet), tension in the lower abdomen, frequent urination or lack of urination, swollen tongue with pale coating, weak, slow pulse or deep and faint pulse in the che position (third position), phlegm retention syndrome, and flabby legs.

Note:
cAMP is the abbreviation for cyclic adenosine mono phosphate, a cyclic nucleotide of adenosine that acts at the cellular level to regulate various metabolic processes and mediate the effects of many hormones; so it is also known as second messenger where hormones are the first messengers.
