Kidney Failure | Home Remedies and Natural Cures for Kidney Disease
What is Kidney Failure?
- Kidney failure is of two types acute and chronic. Here kidney which excretes waste material from the end product of metabolism is unable to do so and this leads to retention of such products (urea, creatinine etc.) in the body and affects the kidney functions. Acute kidney failure requires medical attention as it is a medical emergency. Chronic kidney failure has to be treated medically and as a supportive measure one can start with natural home remedies which will help in increasing the kidney functions and thus helping in early recovery.
In acute case once the episode has come under control one can start with the natural home remedies which will help in preventing further episodes. - It is important to find the cause of kidney failure as there are multiple causes which can cause kidney failure (infections, tuberculosis, tumors, drugs such as painkillers and antibiotics, metabolic disorders etc).
Diet for Treatment of Kidney Disease
- Diet is very important aspect in treatment for kidney failure.
- In acute renal failure kidneys are unable to excrete sodium and potassium from the body and so the electrolyte balance is disturbed.
Mineral intake in such case has to be restricted. Salt (sodium) is therefore restricted till the swelling is reduced. - Low protein, low salt and high carbohydrate diet is advised in kidney failure. Fluid intake has to be restricted. Urea which is a product of dietary protein is restricted from formation by low protein diet. Carbohydrate and fats reduces breakdown of tissue protein and thus is supplied adequately.
- Fried and sour things are to be avoided.
- Daily fluid replacement should be slightly more than the amount of urine excreted. This helps in replacement of fluids.
- Fruits and vegetable soup are permitted.

If your kidney is working properly, drinking water at least 250ml or a glass every hour or two, will certainly help to flush out the kidney stone if the size is small. Even the tiny fragments will be flushed out.
