The contemporary science has quite expensive modalities having non confirming results in advanced stages of diseases. Ayurveda, an ancient science, prefers to prevent or treat the disease in initial condition to avoid such complications. The present case study was taken up to evaluate the cumulative effect of <em>Shodhana</em> &<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span><em>Shamana</em> <em>Chikitsa </em>in CRF based on the collaborative application of two fundamental principles of Ayurveda i.e., root cause analysis and treatment according to underlying pathophysiology involved in specific clinical conditions. This is a case report of a male patient having age 69 years who was diagnosed as CRF before five years &<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>on regular conservative treatment in modern science. However, due to persistent increase in values of renal profile, he approached to <em>Panchakarma</em> OPD MGACH& RC. He underwent <em>Dashmooladi Sasneha Niruha Vasti</em> in addition to some proprietary as well as traditional <em>Ayurvedic </em>medicines (Syp. Neeri KFT, <em>Chandrapbha Vati, Punaranavdi Qwath, Gomutra Arka</em>). After one month, there was significant reduction in values of serum creatinine &<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>Serum Blood urea from 4.89 to 1.21 &<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>64 to 50 respectively with a substantial decrease in systolic &<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>diastolic blood pressure along with improvement in patients’ quality of life. This case study will become helpful in planning further research studies with a large sample size based on cost-effective standard regime in <em>Ayurveda</em> for the management of CRF.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>}, number={1}, journal={International Journal of Ayurvedic Medicine}, author={Sawarkar, Punam and Sawarkar, Gaurav}, year={2022}, month={Apr.}, pages={243–250} }
