Treatment of Kidney Failure In Homeopathy:
Dr. Mohan Singh
Chronic Renal Failure (CRF): It is a progressive disease
characterized by an increasing inability of the kidney to maintain normal low
levels of the products of 1. Protein metabolism (such
as urea).
- Normal blood pressure.
- Hematocrit.
- Sodium.
- Water.
- Potassium.
- Acid-base balance.
Renal function is clinically monitored by measurement of
1. Serum creatinine.
2.
Blood urea nitrogen
(BUN).
3.
Urinalysis.
In patients with an
elevated serum creatinine level (1.5 to 3.0 mg/dL), the term chronic
renal insufficiency is useful and implies that progression to CRF and
ESRD is not inevitable.
Azotemia means an elevation of BUN above normal,
Uremia implies the presence of symptoms secondary to
renal nitrogen retention
1. The uremic syndrome occurs more
commonly but not invariably when BUN exceeds 100 mg/dL.
2.
75% of renal
function has been lost.
Renal replacement
therapy (RRT).
1. Dialysis.
2.
Transplantation.
Pathophysiology of
chronic renal failure
1.
Regardless of the
primary cause of nephron loss, some usually survive or are less severely
damaged
- These nephrons then adapt and enlarge, and clearance
per nephron markedly increases.
- If the initiating process is diffuse, sudden, and
severe, such as in some patients with rapidly progressive
glomerulonephritis (crescentic glomerulonephritis), acute or subacute
renal failure may ensue with the rapid development of ESRD.
- In most patients, however, disease progression is more
gradual and nephron adaptation is possible.
- Focal glomerulosclerosis develops in these glomeruli,
and they eventually become non-functional.
- At the same time that focal glomerulosclerosis
develops, proteinuria markedly increases and systemic hypertension
worsens.
- This process of nephron adaptation has been termed the
"final common path."
- Adapted nephrons enhance the ability of the kidney to
postpone uremia, but ultimately the adaptation process leads to the demise
of these nephrons.
- Adapted nephrons have not only an enhanced GFR but also
enhanced tubular functions in terms of, for example, potassium and proton
secretion.
Potential future treatments
Regenerative
medicine holds the potential to fully heal damaged tissues and organs, offering
solutions and hope for people who have conditions that today are beyond repair.
Regenerative medicine approaches include:
(a) Boosting the body's natural ability to heal
itself.
(b) Delivering specific types of cells or cell products to
diseased tissues or organs to restore tissue and organ function.
For people with chronic kidney disease, regenerative medicine
approaches is the best option to help / slow progression of the disease.
Dr
Mohan Singh Presently working on Pharmacodynamics of Homeopathic medicines and
the role of Homeopathic medicines in stimulating stem cells and their role in
the enhancement of tissue regeneration and repairing in the patients of Chronic
Renal Failure. He is successfully treating patients of Kidney Failure with
Homeopathic medicines.
Homeopathic aspect of the treatment of Chronic kidney
disease.
Homeopathy has a great hope for the patients of Chronic
kidney disease, with homeopathic medicines it is not only possible to stop
the progression of the disease , but with the help of Homeopathy one may get rid
of the situation of RRT (Dialysis and Transplant). The constitutionally selected Homeopathic medicine after a detail case
taking by an experienced Homeopathic physician can do miracle, some common
medicines which can be used are Cuprum Ars, Aristolochia, Bryonia Alb, Acid
Fluoricum, Nat Sulph, Calc Carb, Sepia, Apocyanum Can, Medorrhinum, silicea and
hundreds of other medicines which could be selected on the basis of the Physical
and Mental symptoms.
