A Case
of Chronic Renal failure
|
||||
| Name of the patient – Verma M. L. Age 77 years Diabetic nephropathy is one of the causes of Chronic Renal Failure, when the glomerular filteration rate (G. F. R.) falls below a certain limit. The excretion of urea depends on the G. F. R., when this drops to about 30% of normal, retention of urea occurs. The raised concentration of urea in the plasma increases the concentration of urea in the filtered fraction and by this an adequate excretion is maintained. In addition to urea, sulphate and phosphate are retained together with potential toxic substances. The case I am presenting here is a known chronic diabetic. During November 2003 he became quite sick; he was diagnosed as a case of PUC of DM c FBS. He was under the conventional treatment and his condition deteriorated in place of improving. Apart from his physical symptoms his pathology also worsened. His blood tests on 14 – 1 – 2004 revealed: Blood urea 104 mg/dl (Normal Values 10 – 50mg/dl) Now he sought the help of a reputed hospital of the city where his disease was diagnosed as a case of Chronic Renal Failure caused by Diabetic Nephropathy. Haematology report on 22 – 1 – 2004: Haemoglobin 8.4 gm% (Normal values, M 14 – 17 gm%) S. Alk. Phosphotase 188 U/L (Normal values 38/126 U/L) 100ml Ultra-sonography on 22 – 1 – 2004: When his health deteriorated further he called for my help on 12 – 2 – 2004. His symptoms were: • Extreme weakness. Apis 200 one dose on alternate days On 12 – 2 – 2004 when the homoeopathic treatment was commenced no pathological tests were conducted, therefore it can not be said what was the real state of Blood urea and Serum Creatinine. But, when the test were done on 20 – 2 – 2004 i. e. a week later the values of the test were as follows: Fasting blood sugar 77 mg/dl (Normal values 70 – 110mg/dl)
I suppose, when the homoeopathic treatment was commenced the Blood Urea and the Serum Creatinine might have been higher than the values found out in test on 20 – 2 - 2004. By 3 – 3 – 2004 his general condition improved by continuing the above mentioned prescription so much that he came walking to my clinic (a distance of more than half kilometer), but with the help of a stick, whereas on 12th Feb. he was so weak that he used to find it difficult to walk out of his room. He lives on the first floor of his house and at that time he was unable to come down the staircase. And on 8 – 3 – 2004 he visited my clinic without the help of the stick. The Bio-chemistry Report on 11 – 3 – 2004: Blood Urea 117 mg/dl The important aspect of this case is that the patient did not take any allopathic medicine since 12th February 2004. Same prescription was continued and the Bio – chemistry Report on 31 – 3 – 2004 was: Fasting Blood Sugar 75 mg/dl Occasionally he did get attacks of loose stools with urging to stool after eating or drinking anything. He had such tendency for a long time. So, occasional dose of Sulphur 200 and later Sulphur 1M was given which did not help much in the tendency of the attacks of loose stools. Serum anguillae 30 was continued as stated above. Same prescription was continued. The last report of Bio –
chemistry conducted on 13 – 5 – 2004 was
as given hereunder: I have selected the remedies on the basis of the pathogenesis as given hereunder: - Apis Mellifica Encyclopedia of Pure Materia Medica – Allen T. F. Generalities Pocket Manual of Homoeopathic Materia Medica – W. Boericke - Acts on cellular tissues causing edema
of skin and mucous membranes. Guiding Symptoms of Our Materia Medica – C. Hering Stool and rectum
Pocket Manual of Homoeopathic Materia Medica – W. Boericke - We should bear in mind that the elective
action of the eel's serum is on the kidney, and I believe we can
well assert that if digitalis is a cardiac, the eel's serum is a
renal remedy. Some Ramdom Notes on Homoeo – Remdies – Chatterjee T. P. - Very effective in lowering blood urea. Use potencies 6 and 30, twice daily, till it is near normal (Dr. Harish Chand). The normal range is 15-40 mg/100 ml. Murphy R. Homoeopathic Medical Repertory Kidneys Homoeopathic Remedy Guide – Murphy R. - The Eel's serum eminently efficacious to
re-establish diuresis and in rapidly arresting albuminuria. Kidney
failure. |
