Your fist-sized kidneys sitting behind your belly on either side of your lower spine are in charge of purifying your blood from waste products and holding back protein seeping out from the body. However, your kidneys do other various functions, but these two functions done by your kidneys are mighty important to keep you healthy and alive.
But certain biological stresses can gradually impair your kidneys functioning. Your kidneys lose their ability to purify the blood and cannot hold back protein that can filter out by your kidneys when you pass urine. This condition is termed as proteinuria that leads to an excessive loss of protein from the body that when gets advanced with time can also welcome some serious health complications linked with protein deficiency, such as-
- Excessive hair loss
- Skin and nail problems
- Fatty liver
- Low muscle growth
- Stunted growth in children
- Weak bones those are more vulnerable to get a fracture
- A weak immune system that increases the severity of getting an infection
If not controlled in time, proteinuria can permanently impair your kidneys’ functioning, which can be life-threatening. Hence, it is important to be cautious about your diet because a compromised kidneys’ functioning can welcome serious health problems, such as high blood pressure, brain tumour, stroke, and irreversible kidney disease.
Is there any permanent cure for kidney problems?
There are many labs prepared medicines available that can prevent the progression of the disease for a shorter period but not cure it permanently. However, if you’re looking for a genuine revival of your weak kidneys’ functioning, then switch to protein loss treatment in Ayurveda.
The Ayurvedic treatment for protein loss in urine is based on formulating several potent herbs, fruits, and leaves that can effectively cure any type of kidney-related complications ranging from mild to severe ones. The Ayurvedic treatment is not just limited to promoting healing on the healing of the affected area. Still, the herbs also power your natural defenses that help your body to readily respond against problems that can indirectly affect your kidneys’ functioning.
Ayurvedic perspective for proteinuria
According to Ayurveda, kidney complications primarily occur when there’s any disruption caused in any of your doshas that your body is governed to. The human body consists of three primary doshas (Vata dosha, pitta dosha, and Kapha dosha) that control several functions of the human body, such as digestion, metabolism, body weight, blood pressure, heartbeat, blood circulation, pulse movement, and bowel movement. These doshas can be easily aggravated due to certain environmental practices and biological stresses that can affect your kidneys’ functions, such as-
- Over-consumption of alcohol
- If you have type 1 or type 2 diabetes
- If you have high blood pressure
- Over-consumption of oral supplements
- Increased consumption of processed or canned foods
- Carbonated drinks and beverages
These are some of the common causes of proteinuria that leads to an excessive loss of protein from the body and, with time, can gradually impair your kidneys’ functioning.
What are the symptoms of proteinuria?
Proteinuria is a progressive loss of kidneys’ functioning that mainly takes more than 3 to 5 years to get visible. A person with compromised kidneys’ functioning might experience some visible signs after 30 to 40% loss of their kidneys’ functioning. Here we’ve listed some common symptoms of proteinuria, which include the following-
- Frothy and foamy urine
- Swollen feet, hands, face, or belly
- Having frequent urges to pass urine
- Having severe muscle cramps at night
- Nausea and feeling of throwing up
- Poor appetite
- Shortness of breath
- Loss of appetite
- Puffiness around eyes, especially in the morning
Is there any way to detect protein loss at the initial stages?
As addressed earlier, the symptoms of proteinuria take a certain period to get visible. However, a person with proteinuria might have foamy or bubbly urine, which indicates a higher concentration of protein cells in the urine. But it’s not necessarily important that foamy urine clearly confirms kidney dysfunction. Many different causes contribute to foamy urine, such as:-
When you hold urine for a longer period
When the uric acid of your body is high
When you do strenuous activities
Excessive consumption of protein sourced food items, such as paneer, milk, yoghurt, soya chunks, and green leafy vegetables.
