Effect of Jawarish Zarooni and Sharbat Buzoori in a Diagnosed Case of Nephrotic Syndrome

Abstract

Nephrotic syndrome is a manifestation of kidney disease involving the glomeruli, characterized by oedema, proteinuria, hyperlipidemia and low serum albumin. It may be caused by primary kidney disease such as focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, and mutations in the podocin gene (shown in familial and sporadic forms of steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome). A study by Michael B. Rothenberg and Walter Heymann M. showed 5-year survey of the incidence of the nephrotic syndrome in children in the state of Ohio, in which there were 0.5 new cases per year per 100,000 total populations and 2.3 new cases per year per 100,000 children aged 0 to 9 years with a total population of 8,000,000. Recent prospective studies revealed an incidence of 1.15 to 2.1/100,000 children/year. We presented a case of nephrotic syndrome treated with Unani formulation “Jawarish Zarooni” along with Sharbat Buzoori. Patient responded well and got complete relief with the formulation.
