CASE STUDY ON INTEGRATING CONVENTIONAL TREATMENT WITH AYURVEDIC THERAPIES FOR CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE, HYPERTENSION, DIABETES, AND CARDIOVASCULAR HEALTH

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a progressive condition characterized by a decline in kidney function, often linked to comorbidities like hypertension, diabetes, and coronary artery disease (CAD). This case study evaluates the integration of Ayurvedic interventions with conventional treatments for a 65-year-old male patient with CKD, Hypertension, Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM), and CAD. The patient underwent a 22-day inpatient treatment at Jeena Sikho Lifecare Hospital, incorporating Panchakarma therapies (Awagaha Swedan, Shiropichu, Matra Basti, Vrikka Basti, and Kashaya Basti) alongside Ayurvedic formulations. Significant clinical improvements were observed, including reductions in pedal edema, frothy urine, constipation, and enhanced kidney function, as indicated by decreased Blood urea, Serum creatinine, and Uric acid levels. This case demonstrates the potential benefits of combining Ayurvedic treatments with conventional care, suggesting a promising holistic approach to CKD management. However, further clinical trials are necessary to confirm these findings and establish standardized protocols for Ayurvedic interventions in CKD treatment.
