Ayurvedic Treatment for Nephrotic Syndrome in Child

What is Nephrotic syndrome:

Know about Ayurvedic treatment for nephrotic syndrome in child. The kidney acts as a sieve in the body, through which unnecessary excretory substances and excess water of the body are passed out through urine. In Nephrotic syndrome, due to the enlargement of the hole in the sieve, excess water and excretory substances as well as proteins required by the body are also excreted with urine.

The kidney performs the function of removing the contaminants from the body, but due to the large hole in the kidney sieve, the essential nutrients and proteins of the body come out of the body through the urethra. Due to this there is a lack of protein in the blood. Due to this, there is swelling in the eyes and stomach, as well as cholesterol increases. In this, the small vessels of the kidney, which act as filters, get damaged. The disease of nephrotic syndrome can affect a person for a long time if proper treatment is not done

If the condition goes into remission patients will usually stay healthy for some time, but nevertheless need to have regular check ups with their doctor to monitor the condition.

Question 5: What is the survival rate of nephrotic syndrome?

Answer : The nephrotic syndrome is an entity with a wide range of severity. Life expectancy has increased from less than 10 years ago to approximately 50 years of age. In 1975, there were 39 patients admitted at our institution with the nephrotic syndrome from birth. Thirty-nine patients reached end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) at a median age of 11 months and 41% were alive 1 year later. A follow-up was performed in 1984 in 29 surviving patients; 51% of the patients were recipients of renal transplants, 40% had undergone dialysis, 9% were still on steroids and others had died. The average life expectancy was 43 years and the overall one-year survival was 75%. We reviewed 19 children admitted after 1986 until now who reached ESKD at a median age of 11 months; 10 have already died and 10 are still living with an average life expectancy of 37 years and a one-year survival rate of 86%. It is clear that pediatric nephrotic syndrome is not a usually fatal disease like it used to be but is associated with considerable morbidity because most survivors require long-term treatment or renal replacement therapy.
