Suggest Ayurvedic Treatment For Kidney Failure
Hi.. My father is suffering from chronic kidney failure and people are recommending that he will have to undergo a kidney transplantation surgery in the near future. His creatinine levels have reached 640.. Can ayurvedic treatment possibly prevent the need for transplant? If yes, please advise on where and what ayurveda to get..I highly appreciate your response.

1. going by your history it seems that both kidneys are not functioning properly with low urine output thus one has to look out for Pre-renal/Renal and/or post renal cause of the same, make sure your attending nephrologist has gone through the possibilities.
2. while diabetes, creatinine and potassium level are major criteria for undergoing Dialysis/Transplantation in CRF [chronic renal failure].
3. make sure his blood sugar and blood pressure is in normal range, since the former can lead to diabetic ESRD [end stage renal disease] and latter to high blood pressure [nephropathy]
4.
. Take normal quantity of carbohydrates and fat.
. avoid potassium containing food like: tomato, fruit juice, coconut water, potato, chocolate, papaya, banana, grapes, cheese, and leafy vegetables.
. for calcium take plenty of milk, guava, fish.
. if serum creatinine increases, then protein intake has to be restricted.
. be in constant/regular supervision of Urologist or your physician and check with the tests periodically since kidney function can/may deteriorate unexpectedly.
. You may ask for prescription medicine like: yavkshar, shweta parpati, chandraprabha vati, gokshuradi guggul, chandan asaav
