Ayurvedic concept of Nephrotic Syndrome
Nephrotic syndrome displays multiple symptoms which appear upon potential kidney damage. Nephrotic syndrome leads to excess protein leakage via urine (3 grams or higher amounts of protein – proteinuria per day) resulting in low blood proteins (albumin), high cholesterol, and high triglyceride levels in the blood. Its symptoms may include severe swelling (edema), particularly around your eyes and in your ankles and feet, foamy urine, which may be caused by excess protein in your urine, weight gain due to excess fluid retention, loss of appetite, & fatigue/weakness. This condition could be caused due to damaged clusters of small blood vessels of kidneys, scared tissues in the glomeruli, & focal segmental glomerulosclerosis. Ayurvedic scholars believe that this condition is caused by vitiation of Pitta Dosha in the body. Thus, Ayurveda recommends Pitta calming herbs. Ayurveda line for nephrotic syndrome can lead to a decrease in protein leakages from the very first week itself
Ayurveda does not favor administration of harmful allopathic corticosteroids that have a number of associated side effects, especially, in younger patients, where these corticosteroids may hamper their natural growth patterns.
