Background: Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is a critical condition characterized by a sudden decline in renal function, often requiring hospitalization and dialysis. Integrative approaches combining conventional nephrology with complementary therapies may enhance recovery outcomes. Yoga Prana Vidya (YPV) healing is an energy-based system that incorporates breathing practices, meditation, and structured healing protocols. Case Presentation: A 22-year-old male student presented with severe back pain and was diagnosed with AKI in March 2018. Laboratory investigations revealed elevated creatinine levels, and nephrologists recommended dialysis and biopsy. The patient was admitted to KMC Jyothi Hospital, Mangalore. Alongside conventional treatment, Certified YPV Healer Mohandas Baliga initiated healing sessions using YPV Level 2, 3, and 5 protocols, and HDP Level 1. A total of 110 sessions were conducted over three months, initially twice daily, later tapered. The patient also practiced Rhythmic Yogic Breathing as instructed. Results: Within 25–30 days, medical reports demonstrated normalization of renal function. Dialysis and biopsy procedures were completed smoothly, and the patient was discharged. By one month, physicians confirmed recovery with positive test results. Healing continued for three months to sustain energy balance. The patient subsequently learned YPV Level 1 for self-healing and reported long-term well-being, including employment and marriage. Conclusion: This case highlights the potential role of YPV healing as a complementary modality in the management of AKI. When integrated with conventional nephrology, YPV may accelerate recovery, enhance patient resilience, and support sustained health outcomes.
