Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and homeopathy

A person is considered to have chronic kidney disease (CKD) and kidney dysfunction if eGFR value is less than 60 (units)  on  two occasions over a period of three months. Other markers for kidney disease are also  there, including ACR greater than 3 mg/mmol. Structural damage of kidneys if any can be assessed by ultrasonographic imaging. CKD is mainly  due to hypertension, diabetes, infection or at rare occasion polycystic kidneys. There are five stages of kidney dysfunction  like Stage-1 to Stage-5. Homeopathy medicines can well manage chronic kidney disease in all stages including the stage where dialysis is advised in allopathic medical system and where kidney transplant is not feasible due to old age or other factors. The CKD patients can live a better quality of life and longevity with the aid of homeopathic medicines.

Clinical experience shows that such patients do not develop further complications, who are on homeopathic medication. Essential requirement is that the patient's condition of  cardiovascular parameters, blood sugar, electrolytes, urea,  Creatinine and GFR should be monitored at two weeks interval and reviewed for medication or advice.

Homeopathic medication has so far remained underestimated for the management of CKD, which provides a less expensive and an effective management for such a chronic health problem. A case example which was meticulously followed up for a long period of time is mentioned here. A 69 years old person with chronic hypertension and Type-2 diabetes was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease (CKD) at Stage-4 and advised dialysis by  nephrologist. His eGFR  value varied from 17 to 19 . He was managed with homeopathic medicines and followed up for about  four years without any further complication, deterioration or dialysis. Other Stage-3 and Stage-4 cases of CKD are also well managed with homeopathic medication. One interesting find is that majority of the CKD  cases respond to medicines with tubercular miasm.
