Case Study: Lupus Nephritis and Kidney Failure – Healing from Transplant Rejection and Dialysis Dependency

Classification: DISEASE (Autoimmune and degenerative with multi-organ involvement)

Patient Demographics

Age: 42 years (at time of intervention)
Gender: Female
Condition: Lupus Nephritis leading to kidney failure
Complications: Transplant rejection, dialysis dependency, pericardial effusion
Program Enrollment: NV Life “Meditation the Cure” – 12-week online program

Chief Complaint

Progressive kidney failure due to autoimmune Lupus Nephritis, following transplant rejection. The patient was dependent on dialysis three times a week, experienced severe breathing distress from pericardial effusion, and suffered persistent fatigue, water retention, and emotional breakdowns.

Clinical History

Timeline of Illness:

Age 3–4: Diagnosed with vitiligo; treated with steroids and UV therapy leading to long-term side effects.
Age 24: Diagnosed with Lupus Nephritis soon after marriage.
Early 30s: Underwent kidney transplant; rejection occurred post-childbirth.
Age 42: Entered NV Life program while on regular dialysis and multiple immunosuppressants.

Physical Condition Prior to Intervention:

Creatinine: 4–8 mg/dL (unstable)
Hemoglobin: 8–9 g/dL (chronic anemia)
Dialysis: 3 sessions/week
Other Complications:

Fluid retention in lungs, heart, and abdomen
Severe breathlessness and fatigue
Doctors advised open-heart surgery to drain pericardial effusion

Medical Prognosis:

Critical and life-threatening. No further medical interventions available beyond dialysis and symptom management

Psycho-Emotional Assessment

Core Emotional Patterns:

Deep-seated trauma from childhood rejection and betrayal
Chronic sense of abandonment and emotional isolation
Lifelong guilt and self-blame
Feelings of helplessness and loss of control

Root Emotional Cause:

Unforgiveness toward parents and long-term suppression of grief and anger led to autoimmune self-attack, where the body turned against itself.

Core Beliefs:

“I need love to survive.”
“I have no choice in life.”

Behavioral Manifestations:

Emotional dependency in relationships
Victimhood mindset and inability to assert boundaries
Fear of rejection driving people-pleasing behavior

Hemoglobin	8–9 g/dL	11.4–12 g/dL	↑ 33–50%
Creatinine	4–8 mg/dL (unstable)	6.3 mg/dL (stable)	Stabilized
Dialysis	3x/week	2x/week	Reduced
Medications	High-dose immunosuppressants	Base-level only	Major reduction

Other Notable Outcomes:

Surgery for pericardial effusion no longer required

3. Emotional Release:

Allowed the safe surfacing and release of long-held grief and unforgiveness, leading to immune stabilization.

4. Conscious Awareness (Manthan):

Shifted perception from helplessness to empowerment and inner peace.

Prognostic Indicators

Physiological stability achieved with reduced dialysis dependency
Emotional clarity and forgiveness sustained beyond program duration
No recurrence of pericardial symptoms
Significant reduction in medication dependency
Sustained vitality and improved quality of life
