It's relevant to
know your aim to hammer the budding threat with the right treatment. Let's pull
some more strings of the term 'Nephrotic syndrome", its causes and
symptoms, and at last Ayurvedic prevention.
What is nephrotic syndrome?
Nephrotic syndrome
is a common renal ailment that leads to an excessive loss of protein from your
body, leading to protein deficiency. This problem mainly occurs due to the
damage caused to the cluster of small blood tubules inside your kidneys that
plays a crucial role in purifying your blood for the optimal functioning of
your body. These small blood vessels are known as Glomeruli, preventing protein
and other necessary elements from seeping out from your body. When they stop
working, they eventually lose their ability to prevent protein from sneaking
out from your body via urine.
Nephrotic syndrome occurs mainly in children ages 1-7 years rather than adults. Nephrotic syndrome can keep you at higher risk of developing infections and blood clots, bringing some serious health complications to your body.
What are the symptoms of nephrotic syndrome?
The symptoms of nephrotic syndrome are hard to get noticed during the initial stages of this problem. However, you may notice some symptoms after some time which may include the following-
- Loss
of appetite
- Fatigue
- Sudden
weight gain due to fluid retention
- Foamy
urine indicates the presence of protein in the urine
- Swelling
in your legs, ankles, and feet, and especially around face
What are the causes of nephrotic syndrome?
Damage caused to
the cluster of glomeruli is the primary cause of the nephrotic syndrome, which leads
to an excessive loss of protein from the body. Healthy glomeruli function to
keep the level of blood protein (Albumin) in an adequate amount in your urine.
When damaged, these tubules of blood vessels are not able to prevent protein
from leaving your body via urine. However, there are other medical conditions
that can trigger nephrotic syndrome inside your kidneys-
- Diabetic
kidney disease- If
you have type 1 or type 2 diabetes, then you're at higher risk of having
the nephrotic syndrome. Diabetes affects glomeruli which can lead to
excessive loss of protein and kidney failure most of the time.
- Minimal change disease - This is a primary cause of nephrotic syndrome in children. Minimal change disease leads to abnormal kidney dysfunction, but it appears normal or nearly normal during a kidney biopsy.
- Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis - This problem mainly occurs due to the scarring on some of the glomeruli. This condition can occur from another disease that is affecting glomeruli and interfering with their functioning. A genetic defect or ingestion of certain medicines can cause scarring in glomeruli.
- Amyloidosis- Amyloidosis occurs due to
the accumulation of amyloid protein in your organs. This problem can also
hinder your kidneys' functioning. The amyloid buildup has a direct effect
on your kidneys' filtering system.
- Lupus
- Lupus is an autoimmune disease in which the natural defenses of your
body ( immune system)mistakenly misfires and damages your kidneys.
What are the risk factors of nephrotic syndrome?
There are certain
factors and practices which can keep you at higher risk of developing nephrotic
syndrome include-
- If
you smoke.
- If
you have certain infections like- HIV, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and
malaria.
- If
you are under certain medication, which includes the ingestion of
nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and drugs used to fight cancer.
- Certain
disease, like diabetes, lupus, amyloidosis, and other diseases which can
damage your kidneys.
When to see a doctor?
It's best to consult the doctor if you
consistently have more than one symptom, which is mentioned in this article.
Other signs of protein deficiency include- Weaken bones with a greater risk of
bone fractures, loss of muscle mass, increased severity of infections, and
excessive skin and hair loss, which can indicate nephrotic syndrome.
Ayurvedic treatment for nephrotic syndrome
Ayurveda is the
science of life that is capable of curing any type of renal problem, including
nephrotic syndrome. The Ayurvedic treatment for nephrotic syndrome is based on
the procedures of bio-cleansing, which is also termed as Panchkarma in
Ayurveda. Ayurvedic treatment is a pure complex of several potent herbs which
work on the root cause of the problem and enhances your kidneys' functioning.
Ayurvedic herbs
work in three different stages: internal purification, strengthening natural
defenses, and stimulation of weak or dead kidneys' cells.
Internal purification- Detoxifies your body from chemical toxins, bacteria, and infections, making you more prone to have many health problems.
Strengthening your immune system - The herbs powers
natural defenses, increasing your body's ability to fight off the disease
naturally.
Stimulation of dead or weak kidney cells- Ayurvedic herbs also stimulate the weak and dead kidney cells to start working properly as they should.
