exhibits substantial potential against oxidative and inflammatory stress induced apoptosis by exerting antioxidant, nephroprotective and immunomodulatory effects…in the patients associated with renal dysfunction or chronic kidney disease (CKD)”.
According to the authors, who collected data on the formulation for kidney disorders from over five electronic databases between 2000 and 2010, including Science Direct, Google Scholar, Elsevier, PubMed, Springer, and ACS publications, the NEERI-KFT, a herbal medicine extracted from plants, has been discovered to cure oxidative and inflammatory stress, both of which are known to lower the body’s immunity.
The study, titled ‘A systematic review on nephroprotective AYUSH drugs as constituents of NEERI-KFT,’ studied the effects of the NEERI-KFT herbal extract manufactured by AIMIL Pharmaceuticals, as well as studied the side effects of contemporary medicine used to treat kidney problems. The herbal medicine’s efficiency in lowering serum creatinine, blood urea, and serum uric acid compared to placebo group was also emphasized in the study, and detailed its well-tolerated effect with no adverse hematological or biochemical abnormalities occurring to any subjects during clinical trials.
According to the researchers, “It can be suggested that NEERI-KFT can be an alternative and complementary therapy at end-stage renal disease (ESRD) or complete loss of kidney function where frequent dialysis of renal transplant remains only a single option for continued survival CKD patients”.
KK Sharma, MD of AIMIL Pharma, credited the herbs for this. He said, “this is due to the more than 20 different potent herbs like Haridra, Varuna, Shirish, Gokhru, Punarnava and Anantamul to name a few in the formulation which are known for their nephrocorrective, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties and reparative regeneration of kidney cells”.
