Abstract

In the recent times, along with diabetes mellitus and hypertension; chronic kidney diseases are emerging as a serious problem all over the world. Many studies indicate that proteinuria is a cause of inflammation, progression of chronic kidney disease, and development of cardiovascular disease. The condition in which loss of protein occur through urine is called Proteinuria. If person complaints of foamy urine, development of swelling in the feet, hands and face; all this indicate about protein loss in urine. The processes that lead to proteinuria involve various factors such as glomerular filtration, tubular absorption, and diffusion gradients. Normal urinary protein excretion is < 150 mg/24 hours and consists mostly of secreted proteins. The normal mean albumin excretion rate (AER) is 5-10 mg/day and AER above 30 mg/day is considered as abnormal. Homeopathy is an alternative medical science which focuses on treating the main cause of the disease rather than only symptom. Due to the disruption in the vital forces of the body physiological balancing gets disturbed which is again restored by the Homeopathic remedies.
