KIDNEYS

What is Chronic Kidney Disease?

Kidney as an organ cleans your blood by removing excessive fats, fluids and toxins, but when these kidneys are damaged, it fails to perform various activities due to health issues like urinary tract infection, kidney stones or due to various reasons. Slowly these infections and toxins accumulate in the body, leading to Chronic Kidney Failure. Physically and mentally it becomes tough for a person to survive.

How do conventional medicines treat CKD?

• In early stages there is no treatment for CKD, once the progression of the disease starts, conventionally there is no treatment available to stop the progression of the disease let alone reverse it. The only thing which is available is wait and watchand after a certain limit reached the only option left is dialysis and then transplant.
• Dialysis is not really the treatment, what it does is the work which the kidneys were supposed to it is doing externally. What it does is basically remove the toxins from the body. This helps but the process of dialysis is very painful, long and expensive.
• Dialysis does not only removes the toxins, but also causes protein and calcium loss.
• Once the patient is suffering from chronic kidney failure transplant is the only option that is available in today’s scenario but, kidney transplant is a risky and an expensive surgery.
• Post surgery there are numerous complications that destroy the lifestyle of a patient.

How organic medicines treat CKD?

• While conventional treatment concentrate on removing the toxins externally and reducing the kidney’s job.Organic medicines have a very different approach.
• Organic Medicines play the parental role of nourishing the kidneys with necessary nutrients, this initially stops the progression of the disease.
• After the progression is stopped it provides the nutrients to kidney that are necessary to reduce the loss which has been done and reverse the disease.
• This is the part where a patient can expect his serum creatinine to reduce.
• Along with treating the root cause of the disease, organic medicines take a holistic approach on the treatment and reduce the side effects like loss of appetite etc.
• All related diseases like diabetes and hypertension etc are treated parallelly with CKD

Panchkarma Therapy

“Panchakarma therapy reduces the health issues of CKD Patient. It gradually heals the kidney to function properly and improves the health of the patient.” Panchkarma therapies are nothing but an organic dialysis (Without pain), the work kidneys are unable to do, i.e. remove the excessive toxins from the body, panchkarma therapies help in reducing the toxic levels in the body. These therapies also create a positive environment in the body where the organic medicines have the opportunity to work more effectively hence reduces the treatment time.

Along with reducing the toxins, panchkarma therapies also re-energizes the patient, improves appetite considerably, and also helps in reducing the itchy sensation most of the kidney patients suffer from.

At SDF Holistic Healthcare and Research Centre, we have advanced this process for a better result in CKD Patients.

The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs found on the left and right sides of the body in vertebrates. They filter the blood in order to make urine, to release and retain water, and to remove waste and nitrogen (the excretory system).

Importance of Kidneys

As we know that a major function of the kidneys is to remove waste products and excess fluid from the body. These waste products and excess fluid are removed through the urine. The production of urine involves highly complex steps of excretion and reabsorption. This process is necessary to maintain a stable balance of body chemicals. The critical regulation of the body’s salt, potassium and acid content is performed by the kidneys. The kidneys also produce hormones that affect the function of other organs. For example, a hormone produced by the kidneys stimulates red blood cell production. Other hormones produced by the kidneys help regulate blood pressure and control calcium metabolism.

The kidneys are powerful chemical factories that perform the following functions:

• Kidney regulates water
• They remove waste products and help to balance body’s minerals
• Kidneys also produces hormones which circulates in blood streams regulating blood pressure, cell production, maintenance of calcium balance
• Remove waste products from the body
• Produce an active form of vitamin D that promotes strong, healthy bones
• Also control the production of red blood cells.

Major diseases linked with Kidneys

Chronic Kidney Diseases:
Chronic kidney disease is a slow progressive loss of kidney function over a period of several years. Eventually, the patient has permanent kidney failure.

Kidney Stone:
Kidney stones are hard deposits of minerals and acid salts that stick together in concentrated urine. They can be painful while passing urine and kidney stones form when your urine contains more of crystal forming substance such as calcium oxalate and uric acid than the fluid in your urine can dilute.

Kidney Cancer:
KIDNEY or renal, cancer refers to any type of cancer involving the kidney. Older age, obesity, smoking, and high blood pressure increase the risk of developing kidney cancer.
