Chronic kidney disease (CKD)
Supplements studied for chronic kidney disease (CKD).
Overview
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) spans many supplements with inconsistent evidence. Vitamin D (10 studies) may lower PTH and urinary protein in some patients, but effects on mortality and cardiovascular outcomes remain unclear, especially outside dialysis.
Nattokinase is listed alongside soy-protein research suggesting possible improvements in proteinuria and lipids, though most data concern dietary soy rather than nattokinase itself. Resveratrol and Selenium are marked possibly effective without detailed summaries here; regular iron supplementation was linked to slightly higher CKD risk in hypertensive medication users in one large observational analysis.
