Nephrotic Syndrome is an important chronic renal disease prevalent among the pediatric population. The clinical and biochemical features like loss of a large amount of protein in the urine result in edema and hypoalbuminemia. The majority of children have Idiopathic primary Nephrotic Syndrome. In Ayurveda, there is no direct reference regarding Nephrotic Syndrome. It may be included under prameha and involved components are rasa, tridosha predominantly kapha,Ojas, and Ama . Therefore, to improve the outcome, Ayurvedic formulation can be used as an adjuvant or only treatment as per the stage of the disease.
