Remarkable Kidney Function Improvement: Creatinine Levels Drastically Reduced
The patient named SURYA NARAYANA 75 years old, had a major symptom of disorientation for months. His family physician, who he consulted out of concern, finally diagnosed as: DIABETES MELLITUS. Glimp and Glyxambi, two prescribed drugs, joined him in the battle against this new adversary.
A routine checkup eight years later revealed a new condition: HYPERTENSION. Amlodip and Dytor were added to the drug regimen, protecting against the growing prevalence of hypertension. A few years later in 2018, proteinuria made its appearance, raising doubt on Surya Narayana’s health and thickening the storyline. In the meantime, a harsh undercurrent developed as excruciating knee pain indicated arthritis. When COVID-19 emerged as a global threat in 2021, the course of events took an unforeseen turn. In the fight against the infection, Surya Narayana also sought safety in Remdesivir. Unexpected side effects from this treatment included High serum creatinine levels, poor kidney function, and the unwanted side effect of hypothyroidism. In the hallways of Star Hospitals, Surya Narayana took sanctuary out of desperation for relief. But the constant barrage of pills made him tired and yearn for something different. Whispers from worried family members directed him to SLNS Nature Cure Hospital in his search for a natural cure. Prior to entering SLNS, Surya Narayana struggled with diabetes mellitus, high blood pressure, hypothyroidism, osteoarthritis in his knees, and kidney problems. A change occurred in the protective arms of SLNS Nature Cure Hospital. The force of hypertension lessened, his blood sugar levels steadily returned to normal, and the severe knee pain eventually started to go away thanks to holistic therapy. Surya Narayana found solace in the straightforward remedy offered in nature. His health story, full of swings and turns, was a testament to the efficacy of complementary medicine. Surya Narayana felt better after receiving loving care from SLNS Nature Cure Hospital, and the weight he had been carrying started to decrease.
