Ayurvedic Treatment For Kidney Failure



Allopathic Treatment of Kidney Disease

Kidney disease can sometimes lead to kidney failure (also known as end-stage renal disease). Kidney’s basic function is to remove waste elements and extra fluid from blood. When kidney is unable to perform this function, it can be done artificially which is termed as Dialysis. 

Hemodialysis

In hemodialysis, blood is pumped out of the body for cleansing with the help of a machine and then purified blood is returned back into the body. This process takes approximately 4 hrs. and is done 3-4 times a week. Dietary supplements and medication is also prescribed along with.

Peritoneal Dialysis (PD)

A cleansing liquid called dialysis solution is filled in the abdomen with the help of a permanent soft tube called a catheter. The membrane lining of the walls of the abdominal cavity is called peritoneum. Waste and extra fluid passes from blood into the dialysis solution through the Peritoneum. When the dialysis solution is drained out of the body, waste and extra fluid also gets removed. This is called an Exchange Peritoneal Dialysis. Dietary supplements and medication are also advised.

Kidney Transplant

When one kidney stops functioning person can still lead a normal life but when both kidney fail then kidney transplant is necessary. In this process, damaged kidney is replaced by a healthy kidney which can take over the work of the failed kidneys. Thus person resumes with the normal healthy life.


Ayurvedic Treatment for Kidney Failure has completely different approach. 
Ayurveda says there are seven basic dhatus in human body namely Rasa, Rakta, Masa, Meda, Asthi, Shukar & Ojha. Kidney as an organ is "Rakta" and "Meda" dhatus. The basic lies in treating these two dhatus if we have to treat kidneys.

Stages of Kidney Failure

With chronic kidney disease , the kidneys don’t usually fail all at once. Instead, kidney disease often progresses slowly over a period of years.  The National Kidney Foundation (NKF) created a guideline to help doctors identify each level of kidney disease. The NKF divided kidney disease into five stages .  Where you are placed into CKD stage 3 or higher, it usually depends on an estimate of kidney function. Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is the best measure of kidney function . A math formula using the person’s age, race, gender, and serum creatinine is used to calculate a GFR. A doctor will order a blood test to measure the serum creatinine level. As kidney function slows, blood levels of creatinine rise. Even with a normal GFR, you may be at increased risk for developing CKD if you have diabetes, high blood pressure, or a family history of kidney disease . The risk increases with age: People over 65 a
