Encapsulating Peritoneal Sclerosis Treatment In Ayurveda

Encapsulating Peritoneal Sclerosis (EPS)

Abstract

Peritoneal dialysis is a treatment for kidney failure patients that filters your blood. It collects waste from the body’s blood by washing the peritoneal cavity (empty space in the abdomen). This exchange process is performed daily on a routine basis and the peritoneal dialysis solutions undergo heat sterilization processes which form glucose degradation products. Thus it can involve various complications. One of its complications is Encapsulating Peritoneal Sclerosis. Yet, there are some causes of the occurrence of EPS that are not linked to peritoneal dialysis. In this article we will discuss the Encapsulating Peritoneal Sclerosis disorder and what we can do to manage it with natural methods- ‘Ayurveda’.

Introduction

Encapsulating Peritoneal Sclerosis is a rare complication of peritoneal dialysis that is defined as intraperitoneal inflammation and fibrosis. This rare disorder is associated with long-term peritoneal dialysis that results in excessive thickening of peritoneum along with its fibrosis, resulting in the formation of a fibrous cocoon encapsulation. Yet, recovery is possible if it is diagnosed and managed on time. Studies show that the Majority of patients (50-80%) on peritoneal dialysis will experience Encapsulating Peritoneal Sclerosis within two years of the initiation. Encapsulating Peritoneal Sclerosis is a benign cause of small bowel obstruction, and if not treated will lead to the formation of cocoon syndrome in chronic cases. Before Encapsulating Peritoneal Sclerosis was termed abdominal cocoon syndrome but later it was differentiated that Encapsulating Peritoneal Sclerosis in its untreated chronic stage leads to cocoon syndrome. Encapsulating Peritoneal Sclerosis is also known as sclerosing peritonitis, encapsulating peritonitis, and peritonitis chronic fibrosa incapsulata.

Encapsulating Peritoneal Sclerosis (EPS)

Ayurvedic aspect

Encapsulating Peritoneal Sclerosis is not exactly correlated with any disease in Ayurveda because peritoneal dialysis is a modern pathy method to pure blood, while Ayurveda provides various therapies and natural drugs for blood purification. The drugs and treatment described for “Udar vikar” can be implemented according to the patient’s symptoms. Also, the patient is recovered to the extent that they may not need the use of dialysis further. Ayurveda is very vast and successful in managing these disorders. Ayurvedic medicines can revive normal kidney functioning very effectively, that can even prevent the need for dialysis. Details of medicines are given further in the article.

Kidney Diseases and Their Management with Herbal Remedies

Kidney diseases

ABSTRACT

Kidney disease is a worldwide public health concern. Renal diseases can be acute or chronic depending on the symptoms. Acute Kidney Injury leads to Chronic Kidney disease and later progresses to ESRD ( End Stage Renal Disease ) having a high mortality rate. In modern science, the treatment is very limited to dialysis and Kidney transplantation. But there are ample limitations such as donor shortage, graft mismatch, and numerous other concerns. When the kidney stops working properly and is not able to remove the toxins from the body and also it leads to water imbalance in the body. As per Ayurveda, it comes under the mutravaha srotas dushti. This can happen suddenly or gradually. Let’s discuss this in detail!

Kidney diseases

INTRODUCTION

Inside each kidney, there are tiny structures that are known as nephrons. It helps in filtering out blood and removes wastes and excess water which becomes urine. Most kidney disease attacks the nephron. Kidneys are unable to remove waste in that scenario. Patients having hypertension and diabetes will be at higher risk for kidney disease. Other kidney problems include cancer, cysts, stones, and infections. It can be ruled out by getting RFT ( Renal Function Test ), Urine Analysis, Ultrasound, CT scan, and Kidney biopsy. Kidney disease can lead to other health concerns such as nerve damage, weak bones, malnutrition, etc. Some diseases of the kidneys happen during or just after birth. As per the Ayurvedic aspects, all three doshas got vitiated and resulted in kidney failure.

TYPES OF KIDNEY DISEASES

1. Chronic Kidney Disease

It is a long-term condition in which symptoms don’t improve over time. The kidney loses its ability to filter out waste and fluid from the blood. Waste accumulates in the body and harms health. Diabetes and blood pressure leads to damage to the kidney. Urine will become frothy which indicates that there is a presence of proteins in the urine. The patient will feel less hungry than normal. There will be swelling in the legs, ankles, and feet. There will be high potassium levels which will affect the heart as well.

2. Glomerulonephritis

Glomerulonephritis is also known as glomerular disease. When the immune system is overactivated and causes damage to glomeruli. It is of two types:

1. Chronic Glomerulonephritis

It develops with time.

2. Acute Glomerulonephritis

It happens suddenly ( viral infection ).

Initially, it does not show any symptoms, if the damage continues then there will be the presence of blood and protein in the urine. The source of infection could be bacterial or viral. It could be autoimmune or cancerous as well. In many cases, the aetiology remains unknown.

3. Polycystic Kidney Disease

Polycystic kidney disease is a genetic disorder that causes ample cysts inside the kidney. There are two types of Polycystic Kidney Disease:

  1. Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease
  2. Autosomal Recessive Polycystic Kidney Disease

Cyst damages the kidney and makes them larger than normal. This disorder usually occurs between 30 to 50 years of age.

4. Acute Renal Failure

ARF is the sudden loss of functioning of kidneys which is further associated with mortality in 50 to 80% of cases. Kidneys will be unable to excrete the waste out of the body. Electrolytes and fluid balance will also be disturbed. It is sudden damage within a few hours or a few days. It is diagnosed by getting RFT and GFR tests done. The patient will feel fatigued, have a fever, poor appetite, and many more symptoms.

SYMPTOMS OF KIDNEY DISEASES

  • Nausea
  • Loss of appetite
  • Fatigue and weakness
  • Sleep Problem
  • Urinary disorders
  • High blood pressure
  • Muscle cramps
  • Swelling over the feet and legs
  • Dry and itchy skin
  • Shortness of breath

CAUSES OF KIDNEY DISEASES

  • Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
  • Hypertension
  • Genetic disorders like PKD
  • Sepsis
  • A drug that toxic to kidneys
  • Heavy metal poisoning
  • Renal artery stenosis
  • Weak immune system
  • Prolonged obstruction in the urinary tract
  • Recurrent Kidney infection ( Pyelonephritis)

DIAGNOSIS OF KIDNEY DISEASES

For kidney diseases diagnosis, a patient needs certain tests to determine the severity of the disease

1. Blood Tests

Kidney Function Test is done to check the level of remaining wastes in the blood. Creatinine and urea levels are highly determined.

2. Urine Examination

Analysing the urine sample will lead to revealing the possible abnormalities that point toward chronic kidney failure. The presence of proteins in urine will lead to CKD.

3. Imaging Test

USG of the kidney is done to determine structure and size. Moreover, it has been done to diagnose any cysts or stones in the kidney.

4. Biopsy

It is done under local anesthesia, using a thin needle that is inserted into the skin and into your kidney. The biopsy sample is sent to the lab to rule out the cause of the infection.

AYURVEDIC OVERVIEW OF KIDNEY DISEASES

According to Ayurveda, all kidney diseases fall under the mutra vaha srotas. There are 13 srotas present in the body. Srotas are the pathways for functions to be performed in the body. The impairment in srotas leads to a state of disease. Vrikka ( kidney ) is a sadyo pranhar marma, so death can occur if there is any physical or pathological trauma. The diseases caused to sadyo pranhar marma are difficult to treat hence these are kasht sadhya in nature. All three doshas are equally responsible for kidney disorders. Degeneration of kidneys is due to vata dosha, Pitta is responsible for agni imbalance, and Kapha dosha blocks the srotas. The ingested food is divided into saar and kitta bhag. Saar meets up the nutritive requirements of the body and kitta forms the waste which is in the form of stool, urine, and sweat. Kitta bhag will not be processed properly if there is any disorder in Vrikka ( kidney ). Toxins will get accumulated in srotas and lead to sroto avrodh ( obstruction of srotas ). This entire range of mechanisms will be disturbed.
