Abstract :
Nephrotoxicity: Nephrotoxicity refers to the toxic effect that certain substances can have on the kidneys. These substances can include medications, chemicals, or environmental toxins. Nephrotoxicity can lead to acute kidney injury or chronic kidney disease if the exposure is prolonged or severe.There are number of herbs used in the Nephrotoxicity activity i.e. herbs like Punarnava (Boerhavia diffusa), Gokshura (Tribulus terrestris), and Varuna (Crataeva nurvala). Compared to pharmaceutical drugs, herbs are safer and more digestible, effective and economical. As an effective treatment for various health conditions, herbs are great alternatives to pharmaceutical drugs. Unlike pharmaceutical drugs, herbs promote an improvement in overall health when combined with a raw-vegan diet and regular exercise. The leaves, roots, stems of different plants are sources of vitamin D , Calcium, phosphorous that can be helpful in case of kidney disorders. In review of study ,we studied that medicinal plants of different extracts ( hydroalcoholic, methanolic and aqueous extracts) in animals, at the different doses ( 100-500MG/KG)have shown significant results in treatment of Nephrotoxicity.
