A rising global public health concern, Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is characterised by rising incidence, prevalence with related morbidity and mortality. Diabetes mellitus, Hypertension and Glomerulonephritis have been recognised as the main contributing variables to the multifactorial aetiology of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). Other illnesses including Renal calculi, Hyperuricemia and Dyslipidaemia have also been identified as possible risk factors for the onset and advancement of chronic kidney disease. The estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) and Albuminuria are two important clinical indicators for diagnosis and disease monitoring. The primary predictive factor in this study was Albuminuria and all patients underwent a thorough evaluation both before and after receiving Homoeopathic treatment.

Individualised Homoeopathic medications were provided after a thorough case history, clinical examination and evaluation which was supported by necessary laboratory tests. All patients showed clinical improvement within the first month of treatment. Follow-up examinations were performed over the next six months and the urine Albumin-Creatinine Ratio was re-evaluated after treatment. Each patient's illness and post-intervention progress were thoroughly documented clinically and in the laboratory. The case report series adhered to the CARE Checklist guideline and the causal attribution of the Homoeopathic treatment effect was evaluated using the Modified Naranjo Criteria (MONARCH Criteria). However, because this study had a limited sample size and a short follow-up period, more large-scale, high-quality clinical investigations with long follow-up periods are needed to confirm these findings.
