Best Herbal Medicines for Kidney Failure

Kidney failure is a consequence of the deterioration of kidney damage due to all kinds of causes. According to the characteristics of kidney failure, some herbal medicines can help treat it. What are the best herbal medicines for kidney failure? How do these herbal medicines play their role?

To find the answer, we had better have an overview of renal failure.

Renal failure is the end stage of all types of primary and secondary kidney diseases. In the early stage, some kidney tissues are damaged, leading to less blood and oxygen transported into kidney cells. Over time, more and more kidney tissues are damaged and kidney function loses. If nearly all of kidney tissues are damaged because of poor blood and oxygen supply or their kidney function declines to less than 15%, it means patients’ medical disease has developed kidney failure.

What are the best herbal medicines for kidney failure?

From the above analysis, we can know the best herbal medicine for patients with kidney failure is the medication that can help transport enough nutrition to the damaged cells and improve patients’ kidney function. Here, we first introduce two herbal medicines.

1. Cordyceps sinensis: Through increasing the content of plasma protein, improving the regeneration of renal tubular epithelial cells, and regulating the cellular immunity and humoral immunity, this herbal medicine has a benefit of improving kidney function.

2. Salvia miltiorrhiza: This herbal medicine is usually used to increasing the rate of kidney filtering blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine. With this effect, it can help lower high BUN and creatinine level effectively. In addition, it can also increase the blood flow on the kidney, so the damaged cells can get more nutrition to recover.

Of course, there are also many other herbal medicines that are needed to prescribe for kidney failure patients to reverse part of their damaged kidney function. Why they can’t repair the whole impaired kidney? The reason is that they are used to make the damaged cells alive again, while they can do nothing to the completely necrotic cells. Don’t worry! Once these patients’ kidney function is increased to more than 30%, their overall health and life-quality can be improved largely.
