Chronic Pyelonephritis is a common cause of CKD. Case study: Here is a case study of 64 year old female with recurrent episodes of U.T.I., diagnosed as a case of Chr. Pyelonephritis. She was advised Nephrectomy but she was successfully managed by Ayurvedic line of treatment. She was a case of CKD stage 5 and after 6 months of Ayurvedic treatment her kidney function recovered and she landed in to CKD stage 3B. After 5 years, her CKD stage has improved to CKD stage 3A. Modern science believes that CKD stage 5 is irreversible but Ayurveda has proved that that was a myth. She need not have to go for Nephrectomy. She had a calculus in gall bladder that was also eliminated by Ayurvedic treatment. Conclusion: This study is testimony of strength of Ayurved in treating CKD stage 5 case for more than 5 years, leading a normal Quality of life.
