Effects of acupuncture on SHENSHU were examined in Gromerular Filtration Rate (GFR) by creatinine clearnce tests, urinary volume, urinary substancce (Na, K, Cl, Cre, BUN, UA) and plasma substance (the same substance as urines) on 7 normal examinees. The subjects were divided in two experimental groups (control and stimulation on SHENSHU).
Except for K level in plasma, there had not been found a significant change. However, urinary volume had a tendency to increase. Plasma K level at 90 minute in stimulation group showed a statitical increase. The results were as follows. Compared with control group, There was no significant change in GFR, urinary volume, urinary substance levels, plasma levels except for plasma K level.
