Abstract

23 cases of nephrotic syndrome in children under 12 years were treated with homeopathic remedies for periods varying from 1 month to 7 years. The clinical pictures during exacerbations and remissions in all the cases are presented. Apis mellifica and Arsenicum album indicated remedies in most of the cases during exacerbations. No clear-cut indications were found for constitutional remedies in any of the cases. Natrum muriaticum was partially indicated in two cases and Silica in one. Since selection of constitutional remedies was almost impossible in the other cases it was decided to try in all cases. Natrum muriaticum, Silica and 14 other remedies that covered most of the clinical and pathological symptoms. During most acute exacerbations remissions did not occur quickly and in these cases corticosteroids were also used for the first few days. This combination therapy brought about rapid and complete clinical remissions. Detailed results are given. Calcarea Carbonica, Natrum muriaticum and Silica have been found to act satisfactorily in cases with poor symptomatology and therefore they have been recommended for use in such cases.
