Proteinuria and its ayurvedic medicine

Proteinuria is a health condition that is mainly related to the kidneys. As the kidney’s filters get damaged due to some fundamental causes, they start to leak some parts of the protein or large molecules along with the urine. Losing protein is overlooked by many because it is a myth that increasing the intake will help to compensate for the loss. However, this is not true. Protein loss when occurs you have to consume fewer amounts of the protein or avoid protein, we can say as your kidneys cannot process them during the blood filtration process.

What protein may you lose during proteinuria?

When the kidneys are healthy, they filter fluid, minerals, and waste also from the blood, but not large amounts of serum protein. Contrary to this, with healthy kidneys, proteinuria may occur and you may have foaminess or frothiness in your urine.

There are two types of serum proteins in the blood that majorly forms the group, albumin, and globulins. Albumin is the main component of serum protein holding 50% of the content and its important tasks include extracting out water from the cells and tissues and maintaining the fluid level, binding the substances that are hard to dissolve in water. 

Globulins, on the other hand, are further composed of alpha, beta, and gamma. The major role of alpha and beta globulins is to transport substances here and there, while gamma globulins are the antibodies. If your doctor tests for protein in the urine, it may include different proteins or albumins only, depending upon the signs.

What are the relevant signs of proteinuria?

With severe protein loss, you may notice the following symptoms appearing:

·         Foamy urine

·         Swelling in the arms, hands, legs, and feet

·         The bloated stomach which is filled with fluid

·         Weight gain caused because of fluid retention

·         Lost interest in food

·         Hypertension

Types of proteinuria

Transient proteinuria is the temporary loss of protein caused by muscle metabolism or strenuous exercise, high fever, stress, and other related conditions. A pregnant woman may have protein in their urine and it does not involve any underlying kidney disease. You can have it cured as time passes and need not take medications.

The other form of proteinuria is the orthostatic proteinuria in which protein is excreted only when a person is seated or standing in a particular position. This type of proteinuria can be seen in tall people, thin or young adults. The kidneys of such persons are usually healthy.

The third form of proteinuria is a serious condition that involves a kidney disease, for instance, multiple myeloma, cancer in the plasma cells in the bone marrow. In orthostatic proteinuria, the blood has too many proteins that get flushed down along with the urine. It is a life-threatening condition that needs the earliest treatment with ayurvedic medicine for proteinuria.

The fourth type of proteinuria is also caused because of some kidney disease, such as Glomerulonephritis, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis. In this form, reduced levels of albumin are diagnosed in the urine. Microalbuminuria is a tell-tale sign of early kidney disease in people with diabetes or high blood pressure and also an indication of the need for ayurvedic medicine for proteinuria.

What is the treatment approach?

There are many allopathic approaches to cure proteinuria, but Ayurveda is believed to be the best way to treat it. The ayurvedic medications work on the root cause of the problem and in the case of the kidneys, the ayurvedic medicines treat the inflammation in the filters and reduce waste deposition in the cells and tissues.
