ABSTRACT

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease characterized by derangements in carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism. It is a clinical condition characterized by increased blood glucose level (hyperglycemia) due to insufficient or inefficient insulin. It is a most common metabolic disorder in India. Diabetic nephropathy is currently one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in diabetic population, accounting for greatest proportion of end stage renal disease worldwide. In Ayurveda Prameha is usually correlated with Diabetes Mellitus with important symptoms like Prabhoota Mutrata i.e Increased frequency and quantity of urine and Avila Mutrata which means turbid urine. Prameha is considered as Chirakaaleena Vyadhi (chronic disease) which is Anushangi (recurring) in nature. It is due to vitiation of Tridoshas (Vata-Pitta-Kapha) especially Kapha Dosha which can be considered as important components of protoplasm which governs all the activities of body and also symbolizes the physico-biological properties of compounds made through a different combination of Panchamahabhootas i.e Akasha (space), Vayu (electrons), Teja (energy), Jala (proton) and Prithvi (neutron). Sadhya Asadhyata of any disease plays a pivotal role in treatment aspect. Since Prameha is a Anushangi Vyadhi understanding its prognosis is of prime importance.
