Correcto

• 长期熬夜、饮食不规律都会对肾功能产生不良影响，应注意日常保养。(Regularly staying up late and having an irregular diet can both harm kidney function; daily care and maintenance are important.)
• 肾移植手术技术已相当成熟，成功率在国内各大医院普遍较高。(Kidney transplant surgery techniques are now quite mature, with high success rates at major hospitals across the country.)

Incorrecto

• 肾 alone when using TCM concepts — clarify with 中医所说的肾 to distinguish the TCM concept from the anatomical organ, as their meanings differ significantly
