Scope of Homoeopathy in case of kidney disease Homoeopathic treatment can further halt the disease progress by giving medicines at the dispositional level (after understanding the person as a whole –understanding what factors would have lead to the disease in concordance with his personality ) so that the body’s own kidney is stimulated to carry out the function and make the person free of dialysis.

Then Homoeopathy can improve the general wellbeing of the patient and his quality of life.

A sudden loss of kidney function, such as over a few hours or days, is called acute kidney failure (acute renal failure or ARF).
