She felt weak and lethargic in daily routine. She started to develop generalized oedema with diminished urine frequency and protein in the urine.

is used to maintain efficient kidney and urinary function and in reducing renal discomfort. It is effective in treating urinary tract disorders because it promotes the flow of urine and soothes the membranes of the urinary tract. It acts as a diuretic as well, renal health is maintained by nitrogen, which acts as a renal stimulant.

Rasayan Dravya- 

According to Ayurveda, tissue damage can be prevented and repaired by Rasayana for Mutravaha Srotas (urinary system). Rasayanas have the ability to improve the immunity of tissues and hence increase the resistance of the tissues. It will increase excretion filtration by increasing RBC & HB (Rakta bhar vridhi ) whereby it acts as anti-inflammatory (shothaghna) and overcome Urine retention (muttrakrichha).

Anti Emetic and Digestive Dravya 

helps in the reduction of vomiting and sensation of vomiting as well. It increases appetite and also improves digestion. For this reason, pitta pacifying tablet was also administered which works like Proton Pump Inhibitor (pantop).
These medicines have a scraping effect (Lekhana action) on blocked channels. It is a good diuretic accompanied by an increase in sodium excretion.

CONCLUSION

In this case study, the patient has shown encouraging results during the management of Chronic Kidney Disease. Laboratory tests showed good improvement within two months and serum creatinine, blood urea, and albuminuria were reduced to a good extent. The patient has shown great relief in all the signs and symptoms. The general condition of the patient is also improved. With this treatment demand for dialysis is eliminated, inpatient. Currently, the patient is living a healthy and happy life. This treatment approach is a safe and effective alternative in case of kidney failure. The patient’s creatinine is lowered to 4mg/dl from 7 mg/dl in two months of treatment & the patient needs not to think about dialysis or transplant now. Her Haemoglobin has also increased from 8 mg/dl to 10.3 g/dl. Urine output increased to about 2 liters.

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 ...
