Kidney Failure Treatment in Ayurveda
The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs located in the back of the abdominal cavity. Each kidney is approximately 4–5 inches long, roughly the size of a clenched fist. Their primary role is to filter the blood by removing waste products, balancing fluids, and maintaining electrolyte levels in the body.
What is Kidney Failure?
Kidney failure, also known as renal failure, occurs when the kidneys lose their ability to efficiently filter waste from the bloodstream and regulate fluid levels. This condition may develop suddenly or progress over time, eventually resulting in a complete loss of kidney function if not addressed.
Common Causes of Kidney Failure
Several factors can contribute to kidney damage, including:
Diabetes (high blood sugar levels)
High blood pressure (hypertension)
Reflux nephropathy(backward flow of urine into kidneys)
Inflammation of the nephrons (functional units of the kidney)
Polycystic kidney disease
Long-term use of certain medications, especially NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs)
Types of Kidney Failure
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)
This form of kidney failure progresses slowly over a long period. When more than one-third of kidney function is lost permanently, it is classified as chronic kidney disease. If left unmanaged, CKD can lead to complete kidney failure.
Possible causes of CKD include:
Diabetes (Type 1 and Type 2)
Chronic infections like glomerulonephritis or pyelonephritis
Polycystic kidney disease
Long-term blockage in the urinary tract
Risk factors for CKD:
Family history of kidney disease
Hypertension or diabetes
Smoking habits
Existing heart conditions
Acute Kidney Failure (AKF)
Acute kidney failure is a sudden decline in kidney function. It can be a life-threatening condition and often requires urgent medical care.
Risk factors include:
Advanced age
Heart conditions
Liver disorders
Pre-existing kidney diseases
Possible causes of AKF:
Pre-renal: Reduced blood flow to the kidneys
Renal: Direct damage to the kidney tissue
Post-renal: Obstructions in the urinary tract that affect kidney function
Symptoms of Kidney Failure
In the initial stages, kidney failure may not produce noticeable symptoms. However, as the condition worsens, the following signs may appear:
Persistent fatigue
Headaches
Poor concentration
Nausea and vomiting
Frequent urination or urgency
Swelling in the legs, ankles, or other areas due to fluid retention
Ayurvedic Approach to CKD
Ayurveda focuses on restoring kidney function naturally, improving overall vitality, and supporting the body’s detoxification process. Herbal formulations help in reducing inflammation, improving urine flow, and maintaining electrolyte balance without harmful side effects.
