It is a complication of diabetes so according to Ayurveda it can be considered under the <em>Santarpanjanya</em> disease, where <em>Kleda</em> (waste) is main causative factor. Albuminuria is nothing but the excess loss of <em>Dhatu Saramsa </em>(finest tissue) due to weakness of <em>Ayanadourbalya</em> (system). The progress of this structural damage gradually leads to a condition in which function of the <em>Srotas</em> (system) is totally get impaired<em> </em>(<em>Sanga</em>). This is actually happening in glomerulosclerotic stage of diabetic nephropathy. As function of membrane of <em>Mootradharakala</em> (urinary tract) becomes fully impaired, there is failure in the removal of <em>Kledamsa</em> (waste) and <em>Udaka Bhava</em>s (ions), which leads to their accumulation in the body. This will lead the further progression. As per Charaka quotation, physician need not to name the disease, he should investigate the <em>Sthana</em> (location), <em>Samsthana</em> (cause) and <em>Samutthana</em> (symptoms). So here humble attempt is done to through light on microalbuminuria in Ayurvedic view to understand the disease and plan out the treatment.</p> ER -
