The main aim of Ayurveda is eradication of the diseases and maintenance of health of healthy individuals.Ayurvedic literature has description regarding mutravaha sroto vikaras1 . Acharya Vagbhata gives a unique contribution of categorizing Mutravaha sroto vikara into Mutra Atipravritti and Mutra Apravritti vikara2 . Mutra Atipravritti vikara like Prameha and Mutra Apravrittija vikara like Asmari, Mutrakricchra and Mutraghata. Symptom of both this Mutrakricchra and Mutraghata seems to be overlapping so to avoid confusion; Acharya Dalhana, Chakrapani, and Vijayarakshita have demarkated both the entities. This difference is based on the intensity of “Vibhanda” or “Avarodha” (obstruction) which is more pronounced in Mutraghata3 . Here Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) encompasses a spectrum of different pathophysiologic process associated with abnormal kidney function . Manifested initially as a biochemical abnormality eventually the excretory, metabolic and endocrine dysfunctions of the kidney leads to the development of clinical symptoms and signs of renal failure, which are referred to as uremia. The disease though originating in the kidney goes on to affect all the systems and the tissues of the body resulting in fatality. Chronic Kidney Disease is a global threat to health in general and for developing countries in particular because treatment therapy is expensive and should be continued lifelong.
