ABSTRACT

Objective: The kidneys are one of the vital organs in the human body, performing various functions. Their primary role is to maintain homeostasis through metabolic processes of filtration, reabsorption, and secretion within the nephron, the functional unit of the kidney. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is defined as a condition in which the glomerular filtration rate of the kidneys is less than 60 ml/min per 1.73 m² or when kidney damage persists for more than three months. This disease is associated with high incidence and mortality rates and requires substantial medical expenses. Therefore, early treatment is crucial, and diagnosis based on indicators that assess kidney function is essential. Case Report: This case study involves a Korean male in his 30s with impaired kidney function. The severity of his kidney indicators was confirmed through a health examination, and he experienced white coat hypertension, where blood pressure was measured higher than usual due to anxiety when visiting the hospital. If the patient's kidney indicators persisted, CKD could also be suspected. Therefore, after assessing the patient's health condition, Ortho-Cellular Nutrition Therapy (OCNT) was applied by prescribing anthocyanin, linolenic acid, and taurine. Conclusion: The patient reported that the levels of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) returned to the normal range. The improvement in the patient’s kidney health was confirmed through health examination results. However, as this study is based on a single patient case, there are limitations in applying the findings to all patients with kidney disease, indicating the need for large-scale studies.
