Abstract:Background: The incidence of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is rising every single day and is presently, a global threat to mankind. Worldwide incidence is appx 1.8 million/ year, which has been doubled in the last 15 years. In India alone approximately 100 million people are already suffering from CKD. The options available with Modern Medicine are just dialysis and transplant with poor outcomes and high cost. There is not even a single pill, worldwide, in Modern Medicine, which can reduce Creatinine or Urea by even a percent. On the other hand, Homeopathy offers complete treatment for patients of CKD, for all stages.
Objectives
To establish homeopathy as being foremost for prevention of CKD.
To establish Homeopathy, not only as the safest and most effective treatment for CKD but also as first line of treatment, worldwide.
To establish Homeopathy as safe, cheap and most effective alternate of Dialysis and Transplant.
Establish greater role of Homeopathy in National Health Policy.
Method: Randomized controlled single blind drug evaluation method was used .Only previously diagnosed cases of CKD were selected. The inclusion criteria for the study was Serum Creatinine (>1.5), Blood Urea (>40), BUN (>14) and estimated GFR (≤90).
Result: A total of 1121 patients contacted the centre (NIH) for CRF. Out of them 783 patients were available for proper follow-up. 450 (57.47%) cases were improving while 185 (23.60 %) maintained status quo and 148 (18.93%) did not show any improvement.
Conclusion: Homeopathic drugs were found extremely effective in enhancing the efficiency of kidney. There was marked reduction in the level of S. Creatinine and in some cases not only it reduced significantly, but also its level came down in some cases and continued to be normal. Therefore Homeopathy can be established as an alternate to prevent or reduce the frequency of Dialysis and can help to postpone Renal Transplant.
