Glomerulonephritis – Natural Healing Through Homeopathic Treatments

Introduction

Glomerulonephritis is one of the many kidney diseases that arise in the tiny and delicate filtering units of the kidneys called the glomeruli. The function of the glomeruli is to filter waste and excess fluids from blood. The inflammation of glomeruli, therefore, means their compromise, and the manifestations may be as insignificant as a slight feeling of illness to as serious as injury to the kidneys. It may be acute or chronic and will lead to a serious case of kidney failure if medical care is not administered within an appropriate time frame.

While the conventional treatments for glomerulonephritis entail the removal of the causative agent followed by the management of symptoms, Homeopathy balances out its approach by promoting restoration of all healing powers of the body, especially reduction of inflammation and general improvement in the kidney.

In Homeo Care Clinic, Dr. Vaseem Choudhary, aided by his panel of well-trained physicians, has prepared an individualized form of homeopathic treatment for glomerulonephritis as safe and effectual as it is without impairing the peculiar symptoms and overall condition of the patient affected with glomerulonephritis.

Causes of Glomerulonephritis

There are several causes of glomerulonephritis classified broadly as primary and secondary causes:

Primary Causes:

• Infection: This could be a viral or bacterial infection like streptococcal throat infections, hepatitis B or C, or endocarditis that will cause an immune reaction to initiate the inflammation of the glomeruli.
• Autoimmune diseases: Diseases like lupus or IgA nephropathy known as Berger’s disease incite an immune response against the glomeruli, leading to inflammation in the individual.
• Membranous nephropathy: This is a result of the accumulation of immune proteins in the glomeruli. It causes inflammation and damage.

Secondary Causes:

• Diabetes: Untreated diabetes damages the kidneys, and one complication is glomerulonephritis.
• Hypertension: Increased blood pressure tends to strain the kidneys and also may facilitate inflammation within the glomeruli.
• Genetic factors: Some people tend to have a genetic predisposition for the condition.
• Toxins and drugs: Some drugs and illegal drugs and toxins contribute to the development of the condition.

Symptoms of Glomerulonephritis

The symptoms of glomerulonephritis vary with the severity and cause. Such common symptoms may include:

• Hematuria (Blood in urine): One of the hallmark symptoms of glomerulonephritis is blood coming out in the urine, and may be pink or red up to dark brown.
• Proteinuria (Protein in urine): Excess protein in the urine is a sign of kidney damage and leads to urine appearance as frothy.
• Edema (Swelling): Kidney inflammation can cause fluid retention that leads to swelling in the face, hands, feet, and abdomen.
• High blood pressure: The inability of the kidneys to function well leads to a high level of blood pressure. Thus, one can get headaches, dizziness, and blurred vision.
• Fatigue: Waste substances that accumulate in the blood due to poor kidney functioning will make one feel tired and weak.
• Low urine output: As the kidneys lose their filtering ability, output may decrease leading to oliguria or drips of urine.
• Pain: Some patients even have flank or abdominal pain because of inflammation in the kidneys.

Conventional Therapy for Glomerulonephritis

The conventional treatment of glomerulonephritis is based on the etiology, severity, and acute or chronic condition of the disease. It is used to treat symptoms manage complications and prevent further impairment of the kidneys.

• Medications:

1. Corticosteroids: These anti-inflammatory drugs like prednisone are given to decrease the inflammation in the glomeruli.
2. Immunosuppressants: Immunosuppressive agents, such as cyclophosphamide and mycophenolate mofetil, may be necessary to suppress the action of the immune system in autoimmune-associated glomerulonephritis.
3. Diuretics: They decrease swelling through the removal of excess fluid from the body.
4. Anti-hypertensives: This comprises drugs which are used to decrease increased tension and save kidney function. This consists of ACE inhibitors and ARBs. Glomerulonephritis
5. Antibiotics: if the cause is a bacterium, antibacterial medication or antibiotics may be needed to treat the infection.

• Plasmapheresis: It is used in severe cases where it removes harmful antibodies from blood.
• Dialysis: If the kidney disease results in irreversible damage, the filtrations in the kidneys are stopped, and hence dialysis may be needed.
• Transplant: in the case of end-stage kidney disease, an individual requires a transplant.

Homeopathic Medicine For Glomerulonephritis

The homeopathy treatment for glomerulonephritis is holistic and natural and treats patients by considering the root cause, improving kidney functionality, and avoiding further damage. The selection of a homeopathy remedy is based on the symptoms manifested, the overall health condition of the patient, and the emotional state of that patient.

Some of the best homeopathy remedies for glomerulonephritis include:

• Apis Mellifica: This drug is highly appropriate for patients who have marked edema, primarily in the face, and cannot urinate normally. It also proves to be of great relief in nephrotic syndrome.
• Arsenicum Album: Arsenicum Album is found to be good for those patients who have convalescence, insomnia, restlessness, or anxiety disorder with kidney disease. It would be more appropriate in the condition of proteinuria and in patients in whom urination is hard.
• Terebinthine: This treatment is appropriate for patients who experience dysuria with burning pain and who have dark, smoky-colored urine. Often, it takes an indication of the presence of blood in the urine.
• Cantharis: Recommended treatment for medical conditions, which include the inflammation of the kidneys and irritation of the urinary tract. This treatment suits patients with agonizing burning pain when urinating.
