Gaikwad Sarita Alias Sonale Sarita
Abstract :
Chronic Renal Failure is a syndrome affecting the kidneys, in which there is a gradual, progressive and irreversible decline in kidney function over a period of time. A non randomized, open labeled Ayurvedic clinical trial was conducted on 50 study subjects of Chronic Renal Failure. A package of 13 Ayurvedic herbal drugs was given. There were 6 cycles of 28 days each were administered in 180 days. On the basis of eGFR calculated as per CKD–EPI equation there were 39/50 (78%) study subjects having CKD stage 5, there were 9 (18%) study subjects having CKD stage 4 & 2 (4%) study subjects with CKD stage 3B. Thus all the study subjects were having very poor renal function that is considered to be irreversible damage as per Modern medicine. On completion of 6 months Ayurvedic treatment, there was shift of CKD stage 5 to 29 & 30.76 % by MDRD & EPI equations respectively to stage 4, 3 B, 3A and 2. This study has proved that even with CKD stage 5, the kidney function was restored and CKD stage 5 subjects were maintained without dialysis in due course of treatment. This study has shown that Ayurvedic management of CRF is a noteworthy alternate therapy to the Renal Replacement Therapy. The modern science has to note that CRF is no more irreversible but just a myth. Ayurveda has got a specific answer to treat CRF effectively.
