Managing your uncle’s health requires a careful, dual-action approach. His high urine protein/creatinine ratio (2.91) and uncontrolled diabetes (HbA1c 7.3) suggest Diabetic Nephropathy—a condition where the kidneys are struggling to filter waste properly. In Ayurveda, this is often viewed as a complication of Madhumeha (Diabetes), leading to Vrikka Roga (Kidney issues) due to an imbalance in Vata and Kapha doshas. I have prescribed medications take them consistently and you will se results and also you can consult me on personal consultation . 🌱Dietary Management (Crucial for Nephropathy) Since the kidneys are losing protein, the diet must be low-sodium and moderately low-protein to prevent further damage. The “Dos” (Best Choices)✅ • Lauki (Bottle Gourd) & Turai (Ridge Gourd): These are light, easy to digest, and naturally diuretic. • Old Rice & Barley: Barley (Yava) is traditionally used in Ayurveda for urinary disorders and diabetes. • Moong Dal: The only lentil that is light enough for the kidneys during protein leakage. • Boiled/Steamed Food: Reduces the intake of complex fats and processed salts. The “Don’ts” (Avoid Strictly)❌ • Salt (Sodium): High salt is the primary driver of hypertension. Use rock salt (Saindhava Lavana) in very small quantities. • Potassium-Rich Foods: If kidney function is compromised, avoid bananas, citrus fruits, and coconut water unless a doctor approves. • High Protein: Avoid paneer, heavy dals (Rajma, Chole), and non-veg, as they increase “BUN” (Blood Urea Nitrogen) levels. • Processed Foods: No pickles, papads, or canned soups—these are hidden salt bombs. ♻️Lifestyle & Natural Reducers • Pranayama (Sheetali & Bhramari): These cooling breathing exercises are scientifically shown to lower the “fight or flight” response, naturally reducing blood pressure. • Foot Massage (Padabhyanga): Massaging the soles of the feet with warm sesame oil before bed can calm the nervous system. • Monitor Water Intake: You mentioned 1–2 liters; ensure he doesn’t exceed this unless recommended, as excess fluid can increase blood pressure if the kidneys aren’t filtering well.

Your uncle’s reports suggest diabetic kidney involvement with significant protein leakage, so controlling blood pressure and sugar strictly is very important to protect kidney function further. Natural support can help, but prescribed medicines should not be stopped.

Punarnava mandoor – 1 tablet twice daily after food Chandraprabha vati – 1 tablet twice daily after food Arjuna tablet – 1 tablet twice daily after food These may support kidney function, BP balance, and metabolism gradually. Regular monitoring of creatinine, urine protein, BP, and HbA1c is very important. A nephrologist follow-up should continue regularly. Regards, Dr Raghuveer (Ayurvedacharya)
