A Conceptual Study of Vrikka and Vrikkaroga w.s.r. Chronic Kidney Disease: A Review

Abstract

Abstract: The primary goal of Ayurveda is illness elimination and the preservation of healthy persons' health. Mutravaha sroto vikaras are described in Ayurvedic literature. Acharya Vagbhata explains Mutravaha sroto vikara has been classified as Mutra Atipravritti and Mutra Apravritti, which is a unique contribution. Mutra Atipravritti vikara, such as Prameha, and Mutra Apravrittija vikara, such as Asmari, Mutrakricchra, and others Mutraghata.Because the symptoms of Mutrakricchra and Mutraghata appear to be overlapping, Acharya Dalhana, Chakrapani, and Vijayarakshita have distinguished both entities. This distinction is due to the greater severity of "Vibhanda" or "Avarodha" (obstruction) in Mutraghata. Here Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) encompasses a spectrum of different pathophysiologic process associated with abnormal kidney function. Manifested initially as a biochemical abnormality eventually the excretory, metabolic and endocrine dysfunctions of the kidney leads to the development of clinical symptoms and signs of renal failure, which are referred to as uremia. The disease, which begins in the kidney, spreads to all of the body's systems and tissues, eventually killing the patient. Chronic Kidney Disease is a global danger to health in general, and particularly to poor nations, because treatment is costly and must be sustained indefinitely.
