Abstract

Kidney stones are one of the most common problems regarding Renal disorders. Inappropriate dietary habits and insufficient water intake lead to the formation of Renal stone. These stones obstruct either the pelvis region or ureter region causing hydronephrosis and hydroureter respectively. It can be presented independently or together. Both conditions should be promptly diagnosed and treated to prevent severe renal dysfunction. Cystoscopy guid-ed ureteral stent placement or fluoroscopy guided percutaneous nephrostomy tube are the modern treatment strategies for hydronephrosis or hydroureteronephrosis. In Ayurveda symptoms of hydroureteronephrosis can be correlated as the mixed symptoms of vat kundalini and vata Basti or Mutrateeta in which there is obstruction in Mutravaha srotas leading to impeded urine flow ,finally causing retro peritoneal pain ,heaviness ,and retention of urine and stool.

Here the presented case is about a case of mild hydroureteronephrosis ,which is reversed and gets back to normal function within 14 days through systemized administration of polyherbal drug.
