Making an Ayurveda Diagnosis is Important
From the Ayurvedic point of view what is the diagnosis of the disease, knowing about it is equally important as the treatment of the disease.
Physical examination of the Patient
Physical examination is a very important factor to reach the diagnosis of a disease. It includes the following :
- Inspection of the patient.
- Palpation and Interrogation to the patient.
- Pedal edema
- Tongue examination
- Pulse examination (for OPD patients only)
Investigations – Medical Investigations are important to make a proper diagnosis. Laboratory investigations as well as another diagnostic tests like USG, CT, MRI, etc. In Kidney failure Urea, Creatinine, Uric acid, Sodium, Potassium levels are de-arranged. You may find the only proteinuria in the initial stages of the disease.
For Ayurvedic treatment for kidney failure, we would require the following details:
For patients who are not on dialysis, we require the following information-
- Blood Urea, Creatinine
- Lipid Profile, CBC, Thyroid Profile, Liver function Test
- For Diabetic Patients we require-
- All blood reports stated above along with
- HbA1c levels, Serum Insulin, Urine routine examination
- For dialysis patients we require –
- Before dialysis weight
- After dialysis weight
This will help to assess weight gain between the two consecutive dialysis sessions. We might be able to reduce the frequency of dialysis in the near future. Weight gained means the amount of water collected in our belly as kidney is not able to make enough amount of urine. With ayurvedic medicine for kidney, failure kidneys will start filtering blood and urine output will increase & the patient will observe negligible weight gain before dialysis.
Before dialysis Urea & Creatinine– This is a remarkable test without which kidney function can’t be determined. Pre dialysis Urea & Creatinine will decrease with our Ayurvedic Treatment for Kidney Failure.
Urine Output in 24 hours tells about the current scenario of the patient’s kidneys whether the kidney is able to perform its function of filtration.
Recent Ultrasound- It will clearly depict the kidney size if any shrinkage is there. It will help to analyze patient conditions much better and how much time needed to recover. Patients with kidney size 10 cm will recover early than a patient with a kidney size of 7 cm. Kidneys do shrink when they don’t work that’s the universal law.
For all patients, we also require the tongue’s image to assess the dosha imbalance and, Accordingly, we advise Ayurvedic Medicine. This is an important feature where we use technology which helps a doctor to prescribe right medicines.
