renal failure definition - #18178
Doctor, I’ve been reading about kidney health and recently learned about renal failure. From what I understand, renal failure is when the kidneys stop working properly, preventing them from filtering waste and fluids from the blood. I’ve been having some symptoms that make me worry about my kidney health, such as swelling in my ankles and fatigue. The doctor mentioned that my kidney function is not optimal, but I’m trying to understand the renal failure definition more clearly. Could renal failure happen suddenly, or does it usually develop over a long period due to chronic kidney disease? I’ve heard that high blood pressure and diabetes are the main causes of kidney failure—could my health conditions be putting me at risk? From an Ayurvedic perspective, renal failure might be seen as a result of Kapha dosha imbalance, which can cause fluid retention and lead to kidney problems. How does Ayurveda approach the treatment of kidney failure? Are there herbs like Punarnava and Gokshura that can help support kidney function and detoxify the body? What lifestyle changes and dietary recommendations can I follow to improve my kidney health and avoid further damage? I’d love to know more about how Ayurveda can help with renal failure and promote overall kidney function.
