The theory of the Five Elements on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) was based on the idea that everything in the universe was the produce of movement and change of five basic elements. Liver represent wood and Kidney represent Water Purpose of the research was developed TcM model especially in its interaction of liver and kidney function throught blood using equally Parameter. Population Kacang Goat (capra sp) consists of l5 males and females were administered blood samples 5 cc each. Blood was obtained on SGOT, SGPT, total erythrocyte, PCV Hb, BUN, creatinin, and protein. Model was evaluated through loading factor analysis, average variance extracted value (AVE), Cronbac'h Alpha, and t test. Model was significantly difference if loading factor more than 0,5; AVE value for cach construct variable > correlation between contructs; cronbac'h Alpha > 0,70;and tstatistic" > ttable on e = 5yo. Result of the research shown AVE value for all variable i.e. kidney,liver, and blood, respectivety, was more than 0,5 and v AVE > correlation between variables, suggested research model has enough validity discriminate. Addition results, each variables has composite reliability more than 0,70. According to analysis all of the tables, traditionnl model of the Five Elements theory for interaction liver and kidney function through blood as mediator became change.
