Which Liver point is located in the groin crease, 1 cun inferior and 2.5 cun lateral to REN-2?

• A. SP-9
• B. REN-2
• C. LV 11
• D. LV 12

Answer: (D)

The key idea is precise localization of Liver-channel points using fixed landmarks and cun measurements. To find the Liver point in the groin area, you use REN-2 as your anchor—the midline point at the upper border of the pubic symphysis. From REN-2, go 1 cun downward and 2.5 cun laterally. That specific offset places you in the groin crease along the Liver channel, which is the location of LV12. This distinguishes LV12 from the others: SP-9 is on the leg away from the groin region, REN-2 is simply the reference point itself, and LV11 sits in a different part of the lower abdomen, not at this lateral distance from REN-2.
