Abstract :

Type2 Diabetes mellitus is a public health concern, and projections of its future effects are alarming. Diabetic Nephropathy(DN) is a common finding in diabetic patients. Microalbuminuria is the earliest clinical evidence of DN. Early detection of Microalbuminuria is very important, it allows timely interventions to prevent progression to macro albuminuria and later end stage renal disease. In Ayurveda Diabetic Nephropathy can be considered as a complication of Madhumeha and proper management of Madhumeha will prevent the progression of the disease. A 59 year old female patient, who is a known case of Type2 DM since 10 years, came to Govt. Ayurveda college, Thiruvananthapuram, Kayachikitsa OPD with complaints of frothy urine and bilateral ankle swelling since 6 months. Screening for Microalbuminuria was done in a 24–hour urine sample and was found to be 217mg/day. The patient was recommended to take Tryooshnadi guggulu 2tab thrice daily for a period of 30 days. After the prescribed study period, subjective and objective criteria were recorded and showed significant results.
