1. Symptomatic medicines with some specific medicines to control the causative disease such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and so on.
2. Dialysis (Haemodialysis or Peritoneal dialysis).
3. Kidney transplantation.

In allopathy, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin II receptor antagonists is used, as they have been found to slow the progression of CKD to stage 5. Although the use of ACE inhibitors and ARBs represents the current standard of care for patients with CKD, patients progressively lose kidney function while on these medications, as seen in the IDNT and RENAAL studies, which reported a decrease over time in estimated glomerular filtration rate.

The medicines and their dosage change with the stage of the disease in contrast to homeopathy wherein a detailed case taking is done and a constitutional medicine is prescribed which not only helps the poor kidneys but also treats the underlying cause of the disease irrespective of the stage of the disease.

The duration after which dialysis is required gradually reduces and the kidneys ultimately give up. Chronic dialysis patient depends on a machine for his life. These patients develop a variety of psychiatric and neurologic disorders. A neurologic disorder ‘Dialysis dementia’ is a characteristic example.

Not all can afford to get a kidney transplant done as it is very costly, and tissue rejection issues makes it tough to get a kidney for a transplant as there is very high percentage of rejection of new kidney.

All these procedures do not cure chronic renal failure; but instead they keep a person alive by performing the crucial functions of the kidneys.

Damaged kidneys cannot be repaired with the allopathic treatment. Modern medicine tries to facilitate the bodily waste products to pass out by the process of dialysis through artificial or by transplanted natural kidney.

Though homeopathy does not provide any substitute (dialysis or new kidney) for any organ (kidney) but it can revive the damaged organ if taken along with the allopathic treatment in many cases.

Homeopathic medicines along with allopathic treatment not only repairs the damaged kidneys but side by side it helps in maintaining the normal blood sugar level and blood pressure.

Kidney patients of any stage should start homeopathic treatment earliest possible for avoiding passing into the complete renal damage. Patients who are on dialysis can expect less frequent dialysis by taking the treatment.

Patients who are waiting for renal transplantation should start the treatment along with allopathic treatment; this can stop the urgent need of kidney donor which means nothing is too late for homeopathy treatment.

It also helps in reducing the side effects of the allopathic treatment improving the life of the patient.

An extensive study conducted at CCRH (Central council of research in Homeopathy, New Delhi, Govt. of India) concluded that homeopathy with its individualized therapeutic approach including the psychological aspect of the patients goes a long way not only in a better recovery of renal failure but also in minimizing the number of cases proceeding to haemodialysis and renal transplant and overcoming effectively the complications of chronic dialysis therapy.

There are 180 medicines which give great relief in CRF or chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, the correct choice and the resulting relief is a matter of experience and right judgment on the part of the physician. The treatment is decided after thorough case taking of the patient. Thus, homeopathic remedies are designer made unlike allopathy in which all patients receive the same surgery, haemodialysis, renal transplant, drugs although trade name may be different.
