Abstract:
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is an important global public health problem. More than 2 million people worldwide are estimated to be receiving treatment with dialysis or transplantation for chronic kidney failure, and this population has been growing at an approximate rate of 7% per year. A Case report recently published claimed that use of natural formulation (eefooton). After the Eefooton adjuvant therapy was finished, the patient was monitored for a further three months. Renal function of the patient was enhanced, and CKD progression was slowed down. Following Eefooton therapy, the patient's blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and serum creatinine concentrations dropped while the size of both kidneys rose by 8%. In addition, 2 months after therapy, a further decrease in BUN concentration was seen. This review gives an objective to the reserchers if the eefooton has potential benefits. After performing several literature reviews it was revealing that more research is required to prove the efficacy of eefooton on reversing CKD condition.
