Abstract: Pediatric perspiration syndrome often has deficiency syndrome and excess syndrome at the same time, and there is co-existence of self-sweating and night sweating. Kidney mainly regulates water and stores essence, which is the physiological basis for the regulation of sweating metabolism through kidney. Children are insufficient in the development of qi and renal function, so it is better to have supplementation at a young age. Treatment based on kidney is the root for treatment of perspiration syndrome with insufficiency. The children who are deficient in kidney-yin should be given nourishment of kidney-yin to purge fire and eliminate heat. The children who are deficient in kidney-yang should receive mild supplementation of kidney-yang to absorb qi and stop sweating. The treatment for various kinds of perspiration syndrome should take kidney-qi into account on the basis of differential treatment, warming kidney and absorbing fluid.
