Diabetes also known as diabetes mellitus, is the major cause of chronic kidney diseases. The word diabetes is a Greek word which means “siphon” and is a disease in which our body does not make enough insulin or cannot use sufficient amount of insulin properly. Insulin is a hormone which regulates the amount of sugar in the blood. Kidney is an important excretory organ in our body that plays an important role in the removal of waste substances from the body. Unhealthy functioning of kidney leads to chronic kidney disease. Chronic kidney disease means damage to kidney.

Types of Kidney Failure

There are 5 types of kidney failure which are listed below:

  1. Acute Pre renal Kidney Failure –
    It is caused by insufficient flow of blood to the kidneys.
  2. Acute Intrinsic Kidney Failure –
    It is caused by physical impact, accident, overload of toxins etc
  3. Chronic Pre-Renal Kidney Failure –
    When low blood flow to the kidney is not treated and the condition remain as such for a period of time then kidney begins to shrink and leads to chronic pre-renal kidney failure.
  4. Chronic Intrinsic Kidney Failure –
    Damage caused to the kidney by intrinsic kidney disease leads to chronic intrinsic kidney failure.
  5. Chronic Post Renal Kidney Failure –
    It happens when a long-term blockage of the urinary tract prevents urinary waste elimination and in turn causes pressure and leads to kidney damage.

How diabetes affects kidneys?

Diabetes causes damage to the blood vessels present in the kidneys. Due to this, our kidneys cannot clean our blood properly. Our body will retain more water and salt and hence leads to weight gain and ankle swelling. Diabetes even may cause damage to the nerves. Due to which it can cause difficulty in emptying our bladder. Remaining of urine in our bladder for a long time leads to the growth of bacteria in urine that has a high sugar level.

What is the risk that a diabetic patient will develop kidney disease?

Patients with type 1 diabetes are on 30 percent risk of developing kidney failure while 10 to 40 percent of the patients with type 2 diabetes will suffer from kidney disease.

Symptoms of chronic kidney disease?

  • Nausea, vomiting and loss of appetite.
  • Changes in urine output.
  • Swelling in ankles and feet.
  • High blood pressure.
  • Sudden weight gain
  • Bleeding or blood in the stool
  • Pain along the side
  • Shortness of breath
  • Decreased haemoglobin

What is an early sign of kidney failure?

Leakage of small amount of a protein in the urine is an early sign of unhealthy functioning of kidney. It can be observed by urine test. The protein is known as albumin. Leakage of more and more albumin in the urine is an indication of more damage to the kidney. As a result more and more wastes build up in the blood and leads to kidney failure.

Ayurveda and kidney disease

Ayurveda is an ancient and traditional system of healthcare that helps maintain healthy body in a natural way. According to Ayurveda, imbalance in any of the three dosha (vata, pitta, kapha) leads to unhealthy body.

Kidneys are made up of rakta (blood) and meda (fat) dhatus, according to Ayurveda. According to Ayurveda, imbalance of agni (fire element) leads to the disturbance in the process of formation and filtration of urine which in turn leads to accumulation of wastes in the body. This unwanted waste acumulation is known as “Ama sanchaya” (toxin accumulation) in Ayurveda.
