| 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.
