Abstract:
In this study, online databases including Web Science, PubMed, Scopus and Science Direct, were searched to investigate an alternative nephroprotective remedy against gentamicin, paracetamol, profenofos, D galactosamine (D-GalN), chronic-stress, sepsis and cytotoxic drugs induced kidney injury as well as streptozotocin induced diabetic nephropathy, in addition to chemically induced nephrolithiasis. The review showed that many medicinal plants can attenuate the biochemical, functional and structural renal toxicities of a wide range of drugs and toxins representing effective nephroprotective alternatives.
