Abstract
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of Ayurvedic therapies in managing chronic kidney disease (CKD) in a 46-year-old female patient with stage five CKD. The patient presented with polyarthralgia for three years and acute worsening of CKD over two months, along with symptoms of joint discomfort, bilateral pedal edema, constipation, facial swelling, dyspnea on exertion, and disrupted sleep. Despite being advised to undergo dialysis by her nephrologist, she opted for Ayurvedic treatment, including Panchakarma therapies, dietary and lifestyle modifications, and Ayurvedic medicines. Significant improvements were observed in clinical symptoms such as reduced edema, relief from joint pain and constipation, improved sleep, and reduced dyspnea, alongside better biochemical markers. These findings suggest that Ayurvedic therapies may effectively manage CKD and improve patient outcomes. However, further research is needed to substantiate these results and explore the potential of Ayurvedic treatments as an alternative or complementary approach to conventional CKD management.
