Consideration of diseases more dangerous than cancer

There are several diseases equally or more dangerous than cancers but not seeking much attention. Chronic kidney disease is one of them. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is emerged as one of the most prominent causes of death (Csaba P. Kovesdy- Epidemiology of chronic kidney disease: an update 2022-Kidney Int Suppl (2011). 2022 Apr; 12(1): 7–11. Published online 2022 Mar 18- https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9073222/ ).

Its worldwide ranking among diseases causing death was 27th in 1990 which was raised to 18th in 2010 and at 12th in 2017. With this 41% growth it is estimated that in 2040 it will be at 5th rank. Besides this frightening fact the management of this problem is only renal replacement therapy which is highly expensive and much beyond the reach of a common men. Even in developed countries the management of chronic kidney disease in not convenient. Ayurveda can offer a big support to the patients of this problem in following manner:
- Reduction in the frequency of dialysis
- Postponement of need of RRT
- Normal survival without RRT

Management includes stress free behavior, wholesome and nourishing food according to Ayurvedic rules of dietetics, rasāyana acting specifically on mūtravaha srotas . The results show significant improvement in life quality and biochemical parameters in the patients of CKD in long term treatments even better than conventional treatments in non-dialysis patients. In dialysis dependent patients also either dialysis could be stopped without a deterioration in condition or frequency of dialysis is reduced significantly.
