Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)

Chronic Kidney Disease or Chronic Renal Failure or Chronic Kidney Failure is a disease in which there will be gradual loss of kidney function. Kidney is responsible for filtering harmful wastes from our body; at advanced stages of chronic kidney disease there are toxic levels of harmful fluids built up in our body which in turn could potentially harm other organs and their functions. Kidney Disease is generally not detected in its early stages and by the time patients even realize that they may be suffering from chronic kidney disease, their kidneys have already been damaged to 75% of their function.

It proves to be especially fatal as it has no cure in allopathy but it is well managed through Ayurveda. Most ayurvedic treatments focus on slowing the degeneration of the kidneys.If the disease is detected at an early stage, a patient under medication can have a long normal life before the disease has progressed enough to cause serious illnesses.
