It’s bad to hear your condition Anurag! You should go to the doctors and hospital. Your case it quite critical, and in such Ayurvedic remedies and home treatments will have very less effects. Although you went for the laser surgery too, you should get advised from the nephrologist too.
I read a different suggestion. One is to just soak the dal in a clay container overnight. And drink the water in the morning. What do you think of that?
