Abstract

Kidney transplantation is the appropriate treatment for patients with end stage kidney disease. Although it offers survival and quality of life, it is still costing and has its complications such as transplantation failure mainly due to immunological reactions. The main objective of the present study is to describe a case study of a patient with renal failure and kidney fibrosis. Kidney transplantation was recommended. The patient and his family asked for possible alternative therapeutic options. The patient was male, 26 years age. The therapeutic option was a combination of the crude extract of Ammi visnaga and the powder of dried leaves of Urtica pillulifera mixed with honey. This regimen was applied for 21 days. At the end of the regimen, both creatinine and urea were restored to their physiological limits. Taken together, it is possible to use herbs of medical importance to replace kidney transplantation.
