The urinary system also called the excretory system is the organ
system that produces , stored and eliminates urine. Our body's
produce several kinds of wastes including sweat, carbon-dioxide gas
, feces ( stool) and urine. These waste materials exit the body in
many ways. Sweat is released through pores in the skin. Water
vapor and carbon-dioxide are exhaled from the lungs and
undigested food materials are formed in to feces in the intestines
and excreted from the body as solid waste in bowel movements.
Urine which is produced by the kidneys , contains the by products of
metabolism – salts , toxins and water – that end up in the blood. The
kidney's and urinary tract ( which includes the kidney's , ureter's ,
bladder and urethra ) filter and eliminate these waste substances
from our blood. Without the kidneys waste products and
toxins would soon build up in the blood to dangerous levels.
INTRODUCTION ABOUT HUMAN URINARY SYSTEM:

WHAT ARE THE FUNCTIONS OF KIDNEY�S?
What is the kidney infection?
The kidneys have a variety of important functions in the body.
These include,
The main components of the urinary tract are kidneys, ureters,
bladder, and urethra. Any part of the urinary system may become
infected and this is generally referred to as urinary tract infection
(UTI).
Filtering the waste products from the blood as it circulates
through capillaries within the kidneys,
Regulating blood pressure, maintaining steady levels of
electrolytes (for example, calcium, phosphorous, sodium,
potassium, and chloride)
And , contributing to the production of red blood cells.
Nephrofit
Lower urinary tract infection involves the urethra, the bladder,
and, in men, the prostage gland
Upper urinary tract infection refers to infection of the kidneys.
Infection of the kidneys is also known as pyelonephritis.
Urine, similar to other fluids in the body, is normally sterile without
significant bacterial infection. Therefore, the presence of bacteria in
the urine is considered abnormal and may lead to urinary tract
infection.
What are the causes of kidney infection?
Nephrofit
Typically, bacteria gain access to the urinary system from outside
through the urethra (the drainage tube for urine from the bladder).
The bacteria may then ascend in the urinary system and cause
kidney infections.
Kidney infection (upper UTI) is typically more severe than lower UTI
because bacteria may infect the blood stream (bacteremia) om the
kidneys.
Bacteria may travel from the rectum or the vagina towards the
urethra to gain entry into the urinary system. Other bacteria may
enter from the skin. Women are more susceptible to urinary tract
infections due to the shorter length of urethra.
Some of the common symptoms of
kidney infection include:
Fever
Nausea
Adbominal pain
Shivering
Shaking - chills
Painful urination (dysuria)
Flank and low and mid-back pain (dull kidney pain) and
General malasie
Vomiting

Kidney is a very important organ of our body and performs a main
function and that is to remove harmful substances that might
accumulate in our body as toxic material's.
If the function of kidney's are
impaired it might lead to building
up of toxins and bringing down
the functions of other organ's as
well.
It would be meaning less to take
care of your heart and lungs
when your kidney functions are
degrading. Therefore it is very
important that the functioning of
the kidney's is stable.
Why is the kidney considered to be the most important organ?
Nephrofit
What is kidney failiure or renal failure?
Kidney failure means that kidneys have failed and no longer work
well enough to keep someone alive without dialysis or a kidney
transplant.
The word renal refers to kidneys, so you may see both of these
words used. Therefore, kidney failure and renal failure mean the
same thing—your kidney function is below 10% to 15% and you
need renal replacement therapy to stay alive.

UROLITHIASIS OR URINARY CALCULI (KIDNEY STONES)
CAUSE FOR FORMATION OF KIDNEY STONES:
Kidney Stones: Symptoms, Causes, and Treatment
One in every 20 people develop a kidney stone at some point
in their life.
Kidney stones, known medically as renal calculi, form within the
kidney itself or in other parts of the urinary tract. The condition of
having kidney stones is termed nephrolithiasis or urolithiasis.
Kidney stones form when there is a decrease in urine volume or an
excess of stone-forming substances in the urine. The most common
type of kidney stone contains calcium in combination with either
oxalate or phosphate. Other chemical compounds that can form
stones in the urinary tract include uric acid and the amino acid
cystine.
through reduced fluid intake or strenuous exercise without adequate
fluid replacement increases the risk of kidney stones. Obstruction to
the flow of urine can also lead to stone formation.
Most kidney stones eventually pass through the urinary tract on
their own with ample fluid intake.
Dehydration
Nephrofit
Rather than having to undergo treatment, it is best to avoid
kidney stones in the first place.
Prevention is better than cure:
Nephrofit
Drinking adequate water can help reduce the risk of kidney
stones. (The National Institutes of Health recommend drinking
up to 12 full glasses of water a day if you've already had a
kidney stone.) Water helps to flush away the substances that
form stones in the kidneys.
And that is precisely why we at oriens have come up with a unique formulation that has herbal extracts of cratavin obtained from the stem bark of crataeva nurvala and biopiperine .

VARUNA is the Ayurvedic name for the Crataeva nurvala plant that belongs to the Capparidaceae family.
Cratavin® is standardized extract from stem bark of Crataeva nurvala. Cratavin®is standardized for Saponins, Tannins and Lupeol. Lupeol is a naturallyoccurring triterpene.
In Ayurveda, C. nurvala is recommended in the management of urinary Disorders. Pharmacological studies using the root bark and stem bark of C. nurvala have confirmed its beneficial effects in urinary disorders and revealedits potential benefits in the management of arthritic conditions.
CRATAEVA – is traditionally used for urinary tract health , CRATAVIN is beneficial in treating urinary disorder's caused by enlarged prostate. Studies show that treatment with crataeva nurvula provided substantial symptomatic relief from urological problems with improvement in the quality of urinary bladder tone and normalization of urination.
THE ACTIVE INGREDIENT IN CRATAEVA NURVULA IS LUPEOL.
Chemistry of Lupeol
According to the Indian Herbal Pharmacopoeia, the major chemicalconstituent of the root bark is lupeol.1 Triterpenoids, lupeol and varunol, havebeen isolated from the root and stem bark of Crataeva nurvula.5 Other majorconstituents of the root bark include lupeol acetate, a-spinasterol acetate, y-taraxasterol, 3-epilupeol, and b-sitosterol.3-4

Biological Properties
Parts Used
Benefits of LupeolAn active compound found in crataeva nurvula:
Lupeol has been found to be efficient in reducing the risk of stone formation by way of preventing crystal induced tissue damage and dilution of urinary stone forming constituents. The compound is therefore useful in urinary health maintenance. Additionally, the anti-arthritic and anti-inflammatory effects of Lupeol have been documented.
The tri- terpenes in the extract has anti- inflammatory properties. And due to this it is extremely useful for giving support to arthritis patients. Studies also prove that it is said to enhance liver function and also helps in reducing blood plasma levels.
Active medicinal compounds are concentrated in crataeva nurvula stem bark, root bark and leaves. The preparations based on leaves extracts are applied for external conditions (wounds, abscess, rheumatic joint pain); herbal extracts of bark are good against urinary disorders and gastric conditions, and the root possesses lithontriptic and laxative properties.
Nephrofit
Lupeol is the basic chemical isolated from crataeva nurvula. It is proved to be an effective agent in treating urinary tract disorders – increased concentration of oxalate, urolithiasis, and inflammation. It also provides analgesic activity. Other potent chemicals found in the plant include glucosinolates, tannins, triterpenes, flavonoids and saponins.

HEALTH BENEFITS
Crataeva nurvula is used in herbal medicine as,
anti-inflammatory,
diuretic antilithic (dissolving urinary stones) and,
tonic herb.
For years cratavin's primary use has been that for urinary tract, prostate and kidney conditions. The active chemicals in plant's bark work by reducing inflammation of the urinary system, relieving symptoms of painful urination both in cystitis and enlarged prostate, dissolving urinary sand and purifying the urinary tract.
For more than 3000 years Ayurvedic medicine has used cratavin for dissolving kidney stones and inhibiting the glycolate oxidase enzyme, which reduces oxalate formation. Combined with calcium, it forms kidney stones
Use of Cratavin in Urinary Tract Disorder�s
Cratavin�s Use in Inflammatory Conditions:
Anti-inflammatory properties of the herb are applied for the
variety of conditions. Patients with rheumatoid arthritis use
topical applications based on cratavin leaves extract for
reducing swelling and pain of inflamed joints.
The leaves are also beneficial for weight loss when cooked as a
vegetable.
Cratavin is also known for its appetizer qualities and hence is
suggested for the patients with anorexia.

Pepper, one of the oldest known spices, is native to tropical Asia. Black pepper has been used traditionally as a spice since several years. It is considered an important healing spice in Ayurveda. Black pepper is a warming spice and contributes the pungent taste. India is one of the largest producers of pepper in the world.
Nephrofit
A recognized feature of the 6000-year-old practice of Ayurveda is itspreoccupation with the proper functioning of the digestive tract, specifically the digestion and absorption of nutrients.
Nearly two-thirds of all traditional Ayurvedic formulas contain a special blend of ingredients, which includes black pepper, for this purpose.
How does NEPHROFIT 'S unique formula help in fighting against urinary disorder's?
CRATAVIN possess anti- inflammatory and powerful anti- oxidant properties.
Most of the kidney disorder's or urinary tract infections are caused by high blood sugar levels and high cholesterol levels
The normal blood pressure range for a kidney disorder patient is 130/80 mmHg.
Nephrofit
As blood pressure rises, the risk of damage to arteries, heart, brain, and kidneys increases. Controlling blood pressure through healthy food choices and regular physical activity can delay or prevent the development of chronic kidney disease.
To strengthen the pancreas and to secrete more insulin and to reduce cholesterol deposition in the arteries cratavin is very beneficial , if blood pressure is brought to normal then the risk of kidney disorders can be reduced.
The anti- oxidant properties in cratavin helps to fight against cell damage and regenerates the cells.
Antilithic properties [an agent which reduces or suppresses urinary calculi (stones) and dissolves those already present]
The biopiperine extract in ORIENS NEPHROFIT helps in better absorption of nutrients that are taken while a person is on a special diet.

DIET FOR UTI DISORDER'S :
Take Carrot or orange juice diluted with water on 50:50 basis
every two hours for three days, and use warm enema daily
during this period.
An all-fruit diet for further three days, with three meals a day at
five-hourly intervals.
Fruit and milk diet for further five days. In this regimen, add
fresh milk to each fruit meal.
Thereafter, gradually adopt a well-balanced low-protein diet
Changing the Diet
People with reduced kidney function need to be aware that some parts of a normal diet may speed their kidney failure.
Protein: Protein is important to the body. It helps the body repair muscles and fight disease. Protein comes mostly from meat but can also be found in eggs, milk, nuts, beans, and other foods. Healthy kidneys take wastes out of the blood but leave in the protein. Impaired kidneys may fail to separate the protein from the wastes.
Nephrofit
Potassium. Potassium is a mineral found naturally in many fruits and vegetables, such as oranges, potatoes, bananas, dried fruits, dried beans and peas, and nuts. Healthy kidneys measure potassium in the blood and remove excess amounts. Diseased kidneys may fail to remove excess potassium. With very poor kidney function, high potassium levels can affect the heart rhythm.
Sodium. Sodium is a chemical found in salt and other foods. Sodium in the diet may raise a person's blood pressure, so people with CKD should limit foods that contain high levels of sodium.
Cholesterol. Another problem that may be associated with kidney failure is high cholesterol.
Nephrofit
Increase fluid intake:
Calcium:
This is the most important preventive measure for all patients who develop kidney stones. It hinders the formation of stones by diluting the urine.. Patients should drink enough fluid to produce two quarts or more of urine each day. At least 50% of the total fluid intake should be water. In warmer climates and for physically active people, an even higher fluid intake is recommended.
Calcium from food sources is absorbed during digestion in the intestines. The body uses this mineral for many important functions. Any excess that has been absorbed is excreted or passed through the kidneys. The biggest portion of calcium in the diet comes from milk and foods made from large amounts of milk, such as cheese and yogurt. The calcium in these foods is usually easily absorbed.
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS:
Nephrofit
Avoid: Tea, coffee, alcoholics beverages, flesh foods, Salt,
Condiments, sugar. Denatures Cereals, and foods containing
oxalic acid.
Specially beneficial: Garlic, cucumber, French beans, carrot,
papaya, watermelon, and pineapple juice.
