Abstract :
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a common disorder which can be primary, secondary and from the Ayurvedic perspective this can be linked to sarvang shoth or mutraghat. A 64-year-old Male with Stage 5 CKD, Diabetes Mellitus Type 2, and Hypertension was the subject of this case study. Renal function markers demonstrated significant improvement: serum creatinine decreased from 5.02 mg/dL to 3.0 mg/dL, and blood urea levels dropped from 103.3 mg/dL to 41 mg/dL. The patient had backache, frothy urine, itching, and shortness of breath. Significant improvements in kidney function and overall quality of life were achieved after 5 months of Ayurvedic treatment, which included Panchkarma therapies and comprehensive Ayurvedic management.
