ABSTRACT

Renal calculi are hard deposits of minerals and salts that form in the kidneys. They are among the most common disorders of the urinary tract, affecting approximately 10–12% of the population in industrialized countries. In Ayurveda, this condition can be correlated with Mutrashmari. Its pathogenesis involves Kapha-pradhana Tridosha. Renal calculi commonly present with symptoms such as severe pain in the renal angle, radiating pain to the lower abdomen, painful micturition, cloudy or foul-smelling urine, and increased frequency of urination. These manifestations resemble conditions described in Ayurveda such as Bastivedana, Mutrakrichhrata, Sarudhiramutrata, and Atiavilamutrata. This case study concerns a 21-year-old male who presented with nausea, abdominal distension due to gas, a feeling of heaviness in the abdomen, constipation, and decreased appetite. He was treated with Ayurvedic Shamana Chikitsa, Viddha Karma and Udarbasti, which provided significant symptomatic relief and notable improvement in ultrasonography (USG) findings.
