There are herbal remedies described in Ayurveda which are very useful in kidney failure.

1. Punarnava Mandur -   This is an ancient ayurvedic formulation which is used together with other herbs like Mutrakrichantak Churna, Rencure Formula and Varunadi Vati to reduce urea and creatinine and avoid dialysis. The results can be seen within a few weeks of using this preparation. It not only helps the kidneys to perform better but also helps to increase the hemoglobin levels naturally. Low hemoglobin is also a problem in renal failure patients.

2. Mutrakrichantak Churna - It is a classical ayurvedic preparation made from various kidney supporting herbs and is effective way to restore the normal function of the kidneys. These herbs work slowly and steadily in a synergistic manner to reduce the creatinine and urea levels. The herbal combination also increases the urine output and reduces the need to use diuretics like Lasix.

3. Rencure Formula  - It is one of the components of Revive kidneys package in which 4 herbal supplements are used together to reduce urea and creatinine levels. The herbal combination works in association with Punarnava mandur and Mutrakrichantak churna to lower down creatinine levels and avoid dialysis.

4. Varunadi Vati - In Hindu mythology, Varun is known as angel of water. It has the powers to control the power of water in this universe. The varun is a tree as well. The latin name is Crataeva nurvala. The tablets made from the bark extract of this tree are called Varunadi vati. In Ayurvedic medicine, the varunadi vati is used for kidney stones, uretheral strictures, urinary tract obstruction, kidney failure, increased urea and creatinine levels and as natural diuretic. This is a rare herbal formulation useful to prevent dialysis.

There are Five Stages in Which the Kidney Failure is Determined

Stage 1: When the kidney damage is at preliminary stage, the GFR is more than 90 and above. GFR at 90 and above is considered normal but there are chances that one might at the risk of developing CKD if in their family history someone is affected with diabetes or blood pressure.

Stage 2: When your GFR rate 89 or below it, it is an indication that your kidney functions have started declining and a progression of CKD.

Stage 3: When the moderate rate of GFR is reduced from 59 to 30, then the problem related to bone or anemia are common.

Stage 4: Severe reduction of GFR like at the point 29 to 15 is the indication that kidney failure is on the path of reaching the extreme stage. At this stage, where the doctors usually recommend dialysis.

Stage 5: GFR rate is less than 15; it is condition where kidney becomes inefficient in supporting the life system. In most of the case, kidney transplant is the recommended option.

Though it is often considered that kidney transplant or dialysis is only the preferred option for kidney failure but one can avoid kidney transplant or dialysis without any apprehensions if they are opting for Ayurvedic treatment.

Acidic, Meat-Based Diet Boosts Kidney Failure

Renal failure is mainly determined by a decrease in glomerular filtration rate, the rate at which blood is filtered in the glomeruli of the kidney.  Kidney failure can happen very suddenly (called acute renal failure) or slowly over time.  In most cases, kidney failure is permanent.  Symptoms of kidney failure are due to the build-up of waste products in the body that may cause weakness, shortness of breath, lethargy, and confusion. Inability to remove potassium from the bloodstream may lead to abnormal heart rhythms and sudden death. Initially kidney failure may cause no symptoms.

(HealthDay News) -- Patients struggling with chronic kidney disease who routinely consume meat-rich, highly-acidic diets may boost their risk for kidney failure, according to research published online Feb. 12 in the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology.

Tanushree Banerjee, Ph.D., of the San Francisco General Hospital, and colleagues conducted a nutritional analysis of 1,486 kidney disease patients over a roughly 14-year period. All were participants enrolled in a large U.S. government health study. The researchers tracked each patient's intake of high-acid foods such as meat, as opposed to their intake of low-acid foods such as fruits and vegetables.

The researchers found that those who consumed high-acid diets appeared to face triple the risk of kidney failure compared with those who consumed low-acid diets.

"Patients with chronic kidney disease may want to pay more attention to diet consumption of acid-rich foods to reduce progression to kidney failure, in addition to employing recommended guidelines such as taking kidney-sparing medication and avoiding kidney toxins," Banerjee said in an American Society of Nephrology news release. "The high costs and suboptimal quality of life that dialysis treatments bring may be avoided by adopting a more healthy diet that is rich in fruits and vegetables."

Cause and Treatment of fever for Kidney Failure Patients on Dialysis

Dialysis will cause many complications like nausea, fever, low blood pressure. Today I want to share with your the reason and treatment of fever on kidney failure patients on dialysis.

The most significant cause of fever in kidney failure after dialysis is infection. Long-term kidney problem and use of mediations can weaken the patients’ immunity. In addition, during dialysis treatment,leakage of protein in urine, a restricted diet etc also can affect the patients’ immunity. As the insertion site is exposed to the outside, bacteria and virus are very likely to invade into body, thus resulting in infection at the site. Additionally,the patients may experience pain and swelling in the affected area.
Apart from infection, fever in kidney failure after dialysis may be attributed to the following causes.
First-use syndrome. It occurs when the patients use dialysis for the first time. Also the patients can experience back pain, difficult breath, and skin itching etc.

Other possible causes of fever in kidney failure after dialysis are septicemia and pyrogenic reaction.
