Proteinuria is as lethal as it sounds; it's a serious health condition in which your body hammers around 3 grams of protein every day that, if not controlled or get treated with the right medication, can trigger all the causes of mortality by doubling your risk of having low protein level complications, such as- excessive hair loss, skin & nail problems, low muscle growth, weak bones with a higher risk of fracture, and weak immune system that makes you vulnerable from having various health infections and diseases that can go severe in no time.

How Do I Know All This?

Well, I had personally experienced and battled this hazardous health complication five years back when I was in my 20s and never felt anything like that in my life. Proteinuria is a cumulative health condition in which your urine has a higher concentration of protein cells than other substances, which shows that your kidneys aren't doing their job properly and need to undergo intensive medical care to get your kidneys' back on track.

The worst thing about kidney problems is that you'll never see it coming at the initial stages; it prowls on your kidneys and suddenly strikes on them and interferes with their functioning. At an early stage of proteinuria, I never experienced any sort of physical abnormalities in my health. Also, I used to have an overstretched schedule that helped this disease get camouflaged in my monotonous life, due to which it progresses and turns severe over time.

Proteinuria gives very mildly or no symptoms initially, but yes, it took a year for me to learn about this problem because of the symptoms that get severe with time. The symptoms may include the following-

• Having frequent bathroom visits
• Having trouble catching breath
• Loss of appetite
• Nausea and vomiting
• Swelling in belly, face, feet or ankles
• Severe muscle cramping at night
• Having foamy or bubbly urine
• Feeling puffiness around the eyes, mainly in the morning
• Tiredness

Is Proteinuria Cause For Concern?

According to the doctors I spoke to during my Ayurvedic treatment for Protein loss in urine, I learned that proteinuria, if overlooked or not detected in time, can also lead to a permanent loss of kidneys' functioning which can ultimately lead to death. Humans cannot survive without kidneys, and luckily mine is doing just fine. Your kidneys filter around 200 litres of blood every day used by every cell, tissue, and organ of your body to perform their various functions. Your kidneys also hold back protein from seeping out from the body via urine.

When damaged, your kidneys ultimately lose their ability to perform their roles that can wreak havoc on your health by giving a spike to the level of waste products in your body, and also makes your body protein deficient. This condition triggers various physical and psychological abnormalities that I have also endured during my time, include-

• Swelling in ankles, legs, and feet
• Severity to bacterial infections and diseases
• Memory loss
• Insomnia
• Anxiety and depression

What is The Primary Symptom of Proteinuria?

Proteinuria is a cumulative loss of kidneys' functioning that is hard to detect at the initial stages. In my case, I typically used to have foamy urine with a strong foul smell that made me anxious about it, and I decided to get my urine sample tested. My lab report showed a higher concentration of protein cells, which made it clear that I was suffering from proteinuria. But according to my research, there might be many other factors that can turn your urine foamy, such as-

• Over consumption of alcohol
• If you're holding urine for a longer period
• Excessive intake of protein supplements
• If you have high uric acid
• When you strain more while passing urine

Therefore, it's recommended to get your urine sample tested if you ever feel suspicious about your health; I got a little too late and had to bear consequences; always remember that "prevention is better than a cure."

What Should CKD Patients Eat During Protein Leakage?

If I talk about my experience, when I underwent Ayurvedic treatment for Protein loss in urine, I was on a strict kidney-friendly diet under the supervision of a highly professional Ayurvedic practitioner who helped me get through this entire process of Ayurvedic treatment.

For those who aren't familiar with what a kidney-friendly diet exactly means, guys, it's a specially curated diet plan that contains a list of certain food items that you can have in your diet. The ultimate purpose of this diet plan is to keep yourself restricted from certain foods items and ingredients that can make your kidneys vulnerable from getting further damaged.

My diet mainly consists of certain foods that include-

• Onion
• French beans
• Red bell peppers
• Potato, once in a week
• Pointed gourd
• Green chilli
• Pumpkin
• Bottle gourd
• Carrot
• Red grapes
• Apples
• Blueberry
• Cherry
• Cranberry

Why did I start with Ayurvedic medication?

Before Ayurveda, I consumed many medicines and visited many doctors but had no luck. In fact, in one of my treatments, I started feeling some psychological abnormalities that were new to me. I started having absurd and irrational thoughts about my health and overthinking, severely impacting my personal and professional life. One day, one of my friends took me to Dr Puneet, a best-known Ayurvedic expert who has cured more than one lakh fifty thousand patients with Ayurvedic treatment.

I was under his supervision for almost one year, where I used to consume various Ayurvedic herbs along with a diet chart that I have already discussed above in this article. Ayurvedic treatment for Protein loss in the urine of Dr Puneet was equally supportive of my health. I started feeling a massive change just after six months of my Ayurvedic treatment.

Mostt of the time,Ayurveda got underestimated and brushed aside by many who expected instant results. In reality, Ayurveda doesn't work like that. Ayurveda is a gradual process that takes one step and works on the root cause of the problem without leaving any chances of the disease recurring in your body.
