  • Abstract:
  • Background- Renal physiology plays a crucial role in maintaining homeostasis through filtration, reabsorption, secretion, and excretion processes. Disruptions in these functions often lead to chronic or acute kidney conditions. Homoeopathy, a complementary medical system, is increasingly explored for its potential in supporting renal health. This review examines the intersection of renal functional dynamics and homoeopathic approaches to evaluate their therapeutic relevance and scientific rationale. Methods and Methodology A systematic literature review was conducted using online published databases. Peer-reviewed articles, clinical trials, case reports, and published traditional homoeopathic texts were included. The review emphasised studies that discussed renal pathophysiology alongside homoeopathic treatment strategies. The methodology employed a qualitative synthesis to evaluate both clinical outcomes and theoretical frameworks within homoeopathy. Results The review identified a limited but growing body of evidence suggesting that individualised homoeopathic remedies may aid in symptom relief and quality of life improvement in patients with mild to moderate renal disorders. Frequently used remedies included Apis mellifica, Berberis vulgaris, and Cantharis, which were selected based on symptom similarity and constitutional types. However, robust clinical trials are lacking, and reported outcomes were often anecdotal or observational. Conclusion While preliminary findings suggest potential benefits of homoeopathy in renal care, particularly as an adjunctive therapy, the evidence base remains insufficient for conclusive recommendations. More rigorous, large-scale clinical trials are needed to validate homoeopathic efficacy and safety in the context of renal physiology. Integration with conventional nephrology should be approached cautiously and on a case-by-case basis.
