 Watch video on youtube.

It stands for END STAGE RENAL DISEASE.
Abnormal functioning of kidney causes ESRD.
Causes
 ESRD occurs when kidney is not in state of proper functioning and life depends on dialysis and transplant. This type of kidney failure is permanent. It can’t be fixed. Diabetes and Hypertension are main causes of ESRD. Other reasons of ESRD are some reactions to medicines, injuries and some are born with us. Dialysis or a kidney transplant t is necessary to live in ESRD.

Symptoms
             Weakness
             Heaviness on head
             Decreased amount of urination
             Vomiting
             Loss of weight
             Tiredness
             Pain in bones
             Disturbance in menstrual periods
             Change in colour of skin
             Changes in nail
             Swelling of the hands & feet
             Numbness in the hands & feet

Diagnosis
Urine & blood test should be done in ESRD. These tests measure levels of creatinine and urea nitrogen in the urine and blood.
Blood test: Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (e GFR) is for creatinine.
GFR is the flow rate of filtered fluid through the kidneys from the renal glomerular capillaries into the Bowman’s capsule / unit time.
If estimated GFR is less than 15 then it is considered to be ESRD.
Risk factors
The persons who are suffering from following are at the high risk of ESRD:

             Chronic kidney disease (CKD)
             Injury or trauma to the kidneys
             Major blood loss

Complications

Different complications are associated with kidney disease that sometimes contribute to worsen the condition of the patient.

             Swelling
             Hypertension
             Infertility
             High risk of infection
             Rise in level of potassium

Difference between CKD & ESRD

CKD occurs when there is permanent damage to the kidney. Kidney may still work well enough for patient to live, even if they have some damage. 

CKD can lead to kidney failure (ESRD) when functioning of both the kidney get worse. In ESRD the kidney do not work well enough for you to live.

 Can ESRD be reversed?
In ESRD, nephrons are damaged in large number which leads to low kidney function. The damaged part of kidney is able to be repaired with the help of right treatment.
How can ESRD be reversed?
In modern medicines, there are 2 choices for patients with ESRD i.e. Dialysis & Kidney transplant.
There are different Alternative Treatment options available. Ayurveda  provides an alternative of dialysis & kidney transplant. In Ayurvedic  kidney treatment, patient’s kidney disease is controlled by herbal medicine, diet plan & lifestyle.
Ayurveda helps to recover the kidney from ESRD. There are many herbs which repair the renal parenchyma & stop further damage of kidney. Due to this, kidney will slowly and gradually start its functioning as before. Ayurvedic medicine also decrease the level of urea & creatinine.
Glomerular filteration rate decreases because of ESRD which results in the accumulation of excess water, salt & toxic products in the body. Ayurvedic herbs also help to eliminate these toxins from the body.
Ayurvedic treatment for kidney failure  just not works to suppress the symptoms as allopathic treatment. It works to eliminate the root cause of disease. It helps to treat hypertension & diabetes which are major cause of ESRD. Natural herbs which are used to prepare ayurvedic medicine has best properties to overcome the bad effects of disease & to treat the disease. These all facts are scientifically proven.
Some ayurvedic herbs which help to treat ESRD are Crataeva nurvela, Boerhaavia diffusa & Tribulus terrestris).
Prevention from ESRD

ESRD is not preventable in some patients. The leading cause of CKD is Diabetes and Hypertension. By controlling these 2 factors kidney can be prevented from ESRD.

Kidneys can be protected by following these healthy habits:

             Have regular checkups with doctor.
             Eat a low fat, low salt diet.
             Exercise regularly.
             Avoid tobacco.
             Drink alcohol only in moderation.

Chronic Renal Failure

Chronic Renal Failure (CRF) or Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is continuous degradation in the normal functioning of the kidney with the passage of time. A patient of chronic kidney disease might have only few symptoms sometimes like reduced hunger, weakness or feeling tired all the time. There are many reasons for kidney problems.   Major diagnosed diseases that lead to Chronic Renal Disease is High Blood Pressure, Diabetes or it may be hereditary.  If Serum Creatinine is more in your blood then there is a possibility of having Chronic Renal Disease. Now, there are various other investigations that will tell you about Renal Failure i.e. Serum Urea, or Urine Examination. In Urine The examination you may find high levels of Protein or albumin which are indicated as ++++. The more positive marks imply more the kidney is being damaged. Your doctor may also suggest you for an Ultrasound Imaging & an invasive test named as Biopsy which means taking a tissue sample from ...

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 ...

Kidney Transplant

When a person is diagnosed with kidney disease, 2 things that worry him are dialysis and transplant. Urea and creatinine levels increase in blood. When creatinine increases beyond a certain level doctors advise to go for Dialysis. Also, Transplant is recommended. We would like to share some information about the Transplant. Please watch the video to know more. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6FMh5q5G70 Ayurvedic treatment for kidney failure offers some medication that helps to control urea and creatinine levels in the blood, so slowly frequency of dialysis reduces and ultimately stopped. You can Stop Dialysis and even Avoid Transplant  with Ayurvedic medicine.
