Abstract :

Kidney diseases cause a great challenge today and the commonest cause of Chronic Kidney Disease is Diabetic Nephropathy. Early detection is very important and Microalbuminuria is a clear indicator of upcoming Diabetic Nephropathy. Diabetic Nephropathy can be considered as a complication of Madhumeha and proper management of Madhumeha will check the progression of the disease. A 65 year old female patient, who is a known case of DM since 10 years, came to our OPD with complaints of frothy urine and bilateral ankle swelling since 6 months. She also has complaints of general debility since one year. Screening for Microalbuminuria was done in a 24–hour urine sample and was found to be 82 mg/day. The patient was recommended to take Njara Njavaladi kashaya 50 ml twice daily for a period of 30 days. After the study period, assessed the subjective and objective criteria and showed significant results.
