Kidneys, Genitourinary/Renal System Conditions:
Naturopathic doctors at Naturopath Osteopath Clinic have a long history of treating diseases of the genitourinary system. Many naturopathic doctors are familiar with treatments for conditions such as urinary tract infections, kidney stones, and reproductive problems.
The kidneys are responsible for the filtration and regulation of blood flow through the body. They are also involved in the production of urine. If the kidneys are not functioning properly, it can lead to a variety of health problems, including renal failure.
Here are some common kidney conditions:
- Renal artery stenosis is a narrowing of the renal artery that can lead to renal failure.
- Renal artery thrombosis is a blood clot in the renal artery that can lead to renal failure.
- Nephritis is an inflammation of the kidney, which can lead to chronic kidney disease and also renal insufficiency.
- Pyelonephritis is a kidney infection.
- Renal artery thrombosis is a blood clot in the renal artery that can lead to renal failure.
- Renal papillary necrosis is a type of kidney disease that can lead to acute renal failure.
- Nephrosclerosis is a build-up of fatty deposits on the walls of the blood vessels, which can lead to renal failure. Renal failure can be caused by any disease that causes loss of kidney function, although most cases are caused by a condition of the circulatory system, such as diabetes mellitus. Nephritis is inflammation of the kidney, and can cause chronic kidney disease or renal insufficiency. Kidney failure is a medical emergency. If left untreated, it can lead to death.
Naturopathy is an holistic approach to health that focuses on the body’s ability to heal itself and prevent illness. Naturopaths use natural remedies such as diet and lifestyle modifications, exercise, herbs, vitamins and minerals, homeopathy, hydrotherapy, manipulation therapies and other treatments to help strengthen the immune system and improve overall health.
Naturopathic treatments are often used in conjunction with conventional medical treatments as part of an integrative approach to managing kidney-related illnesses. For example, naturopaths may recommend dietary changes or supplements to reduce inflammation or increase hydration; lifestyle modifications such as stress reduction or regular exercise; herbal remedies; massage therapy; hydrotherapy; and other treatments to support the body’s own healing process.
Naturopathic treatment can be a safe, effective option for those seeking relief from kidney-related conditions.
