Guest guest Posted April 13, 2004 Report Share Posted April 13, 2004 Hi I would be highly grateful if someone could give me some insight to this following problem. One of my friends ( She is 33 yrs old) is suffering from Acute Renal Failure. Doctor has told her that she has only 25% of her kidneys working. She was diagnosed for renal failure last month. Her Blood pressure is somewhere between 130-150/90-95 . In february when she had checked her BP, it was normal. Her BP has increased since last month. Her creatinine is 2.7 and BUN(Blood,Urea, Nitrogen) is at 32 . Her renal ultrasound is normal. Doctor has asked her to undergo kidney biopsy. My friend stays at US and is originally from India.She has been in US for past 7 years. One of the doctors in US was telling her that he has found quite a few indians suffering from kidney failure. He attributed this to the sudden change in weather conditions . He said that since Indians are used to warm climate in India and when they suddenly move to a colder climate ,this problem seem to arise. Has anyone from this group heard about this??. I would be highly grateful if someone could tell us what is the medications used in ayurveda for renal failure. Is there any yogic asanas or pranayams that could help her? Hoping to hear something very positive from ayurveda group. Thanks Sarika Tax Center - File online by April 15th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 20, 2004 Report Share Posted April 20, 2004 1841 Acute Renal Failure Sarika Z Dear Sarika, As a yoga instructor, I have found that Half Spinal Twist or a variation of this pose is especially good for the kidneys. Just have your friend do what they can do. You may have to adjust the pose since many people are not flexible. One site that has this pose is http://www.google.com/search?q=half+spinal+twist&meta= G B Khalsa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
