Liver Abscess, complicated with acute renal failure, Cured by Homeopathy: A Case Study

On the evening of 28/01/2015, the patient’s elder son contacted me regarding his father’s deteriorating health. He reported that his father had been suffering from chill fever for the past 15 days. During this period, the patient had received treatment from a reputed allopathic physician in the city, who diagnosed him with malaria fever based on investigations and prescribed anti-malarial drugs.

Despite treatment, the patient’s condition worsened day by day. He was subsequently admitted to a hospital, where further investigations revealed the following pathology:

1. Large liver abscess involving both right and left lobes.

2. Acute renal failure (elevated urea and creatinine).

3. Increased leucocyte count (TLC 32,000/dl).

4. Malaria parasite test (FM method) positive.

5. Blood urea: 140 mg/dl.

6. Serum creatinine: 3.40 mg/dl.

After prolonged allopathic treatment, the patient became hopeless, as abscess drainage was considered the only option, and no cure was available for renal failure. At this stage, the patient consulted me.

Clinical Presentation (28/01/2015)

On his first visit to my clinic, the patient appeared extremely weak, barely able to walk. He complained of:

• Severe abdominal pain radiating to the right chest.
• Ineffectual urging for vomiting, constantly present.
• Evening chill fever episodes.
• Constipation, with no stool passed for the last 7 days.

On detailed case history-taking, it was noted that the patient was an old drunkard with a history of abdominal complaints.

Prescription

After thorough case analysis, I prescribed:

• Nux Vomica 200 (single dose).
• Placebo for 7 days.

•
