        abstract = {Diabetes is increasing globally specially in developing economies like India due to rapid increase in BMI, mainly fueled by unhealthy lifestyles. The estimates in 2019 showed that 77 million individuals had diabetes in India, which is expected to rise to over 134 million by 2045. Approximately 57% of these individuals remain undiagnosed & nearly 25 million are prediabetics (at a higher risk of developing diabetes in near future). More than 50% of people are unaware of their diabetic status which leads to health complications if not detected and treated early. Type 2 diabetes, which accounts for majority of the cases, can lead to multiorgan complications including Diabetic nephropathy (DN), which is one of the leading causes of chronic kidney disease and end- stage renal failure. Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is one of the most common microvascular complications of diabetes mellitus, significantly contributing to end-stage renal disease worldwide. In Ayurveda, DN can be correlated with Prameha Upadrava, particularly involving Vrikka Vikruti (renal pathology) due to Madhumeha. The Ayurvedic pathogenesis primarily involves Kapha and Medo-dushti, along with vitiation of Vata and progressive Srotorodha (channel obstruction), leading to renal tissue degeneration. This study is thus aimed to clinically evaluate Ayurvedic diagnostic principles and assess the efficacy of Ayurvedic medicines in the management of Diabetic neuropathy. Conventional management strategies, though effective in delaying progression, often fail to provide comprehensive solutions without adverse effects. Ayurveda, with its holistic approach, offers promising avenues through herbal formulations and Panchkarma therapies aimed at correcting underlying pathophysiological imbalances. This study evaluates the clinical efficacy of Ayurvedic medicine and Panchkarma interventions in patients with diabetic nephropathy. Findings suggest that selected Ayurvedic formulations along with targeted Panchkarma procedures improve renal parameters, reduce proteinuria, and enhance quality of life, indicating their potential as integrative therapeutic options.},
