Loss of protein and blood in urine - #254

Hello Shridhar, have you done any urine tests recently. Please share them. Along with that KFT, GFR, Protein electrophoresis, Blood sugar levels etc are needed to assess the case. It is difficult to suggest anything before knowing these values.

Alternatively you can try Mutrakrichantak Churna: A combination of herbs including Punarnava, Gokshura, and Varuna in equal amounts to improve kidney health and act as a natural diuretic. Take 1 teaspoon twice daily with warm water before meals. Dietary Considerations: Follow a light, easily digestible diet. Avoid excessive salt, protein-rich foods, and processed foods. Drink plenty of warm water and herbal teas like coriander and cumin tea to support kidney function. Follow-Up: Regularly monitor kidney function and consult with the reports with an Ayurvedic practitioner every 4-6 weeks for adjustments based on progress.

Ah, I see what you’re saying. This sounds like an ongoing issue with blood and protein leaking into your urine – definitely something that’s been sticking around too long. Now, considering you’ve had this for ten years and it’s gotten worse recently, it seems like maybe your kidneys are involved. I would strongly recommend getting checked out by a modern medicine doctor to rule out serious kidney issues, first and foremost. It’s really important to know exactly what’s going on.

From an Ayurvedic perspective, this could be down to a dosha imbalance that’s disrupting your dhatus, particularly the rakta (blood) and meda (fat) dhatus. Your agni, or digestive fire, might be off too, maybe leading to an accumulation of ama, or toxins.

One of the practical things to do is to look at your diet and make some adjustments. Eat kidney-friendly foods that are also gentle on your digestive fire. Stick to warm, lightest meals with spices like turmeric, ginger, and cumin - they can help boost your agni and balance your doshas. Also, try to avoid processed foods, excess salt, and anything too fatty or sugary.

Hydration is pretty crucial; drink warm water throughout the day, maybe with a bit of lemon. But keep it moderate—too much is not always good. Another recommendation would be to look at herbal support with things like Punarnava, which helps with urinary system health and may help the kidneys function better. It’s available as a powder or capsule.

Don’t forget daily routines – try yoga or gentle exercise, maybe meditating to keep stress in check. Stress can heighten dosha imbalances.

That being said, please make sure to see a healthcare provider to get a full assessment and personalised treatment. Ayurveda works best when it respects both ancient wisdom and modern insights. Take care and let me know if there’s anything else specific you’d like to chat about!
