70 Citations | Such values may be useful in adjusting drug dosages in dogs with renal disease. |
| The results of the current study showed that urinary clusterin concentration and urinary clusterin-to-creatinine ratios are increased in dogs with analytical evidences of renal damage and that the urinary clusterin-to-creatinine ratio might be used as a potential early biomarker of chronic kidney disease. | |

Is milk thistle effective in treating kidney disease?5 answersMilk thistle (Silybum marianum) has been traditionally used to improve the functions of the liver, spleen, and kidney. It has been used in Europe for hepatic and biliary disorders and is beginning to be used for nephrotoxicity as well. Milk thistle contains silymarin, which has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and may help the liver repair itself by growing new cells. While there is limited research specifically on milk thistle's effectiveness in treating kidney disease, it has been shown to have hepatoprotective effects and protect liver and kidney cells from toxic effects of drugs. Additionally, studies on Japanese quail have shown that milk thistle can improve the immune system, blood constituents, and antioxidant levels, which may have potential benefits for kidney health. Further research is needed to determine the specific effects of milk thistle on kidney disease in humans.
