Description
Han and colleagues wrote a 2026 review on how Chinese herbal care may protect damaged kidneys. Membranous nephropathy is a kidney disease where filters leak protein into urine. Many patients slide toward kidney failure despite strong immune drugs. The review asks how planned cell death drives the filter damage.
The authors pulled together 41 lab studies on herbal formulas and cell death. Four death routes, from self-digestion to iron-linked damage, all harm the filter cells. Herbal mixes acted on several of these routes at once in lab work. Clinical notes suggest adding herbal care may lift remission rates for patients. The review flags weak study designs and calls for stronger trials ahead. Better proof in patients, not just lab models, tops their future agenda.
