L-Carnosine: A Promising Approach for Kidney Health
Summary
- L-Carnosine’s Multi-Layered Protection: L-Carnosine exhibits antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-fibrotic, and anti-glycation properties, addressing root causes of kidney damage and protecting vital filtering cells like podocytes.
- Clinical Case Insigh: Dr. Irfan shares a compelling case study: a patient with stage 4 CKD and diabetes showed improved oxidative stress markers, reduced inflammation, and slowed kidney function decline after taking 1g of L-Carnosine daily alongside a comprehensive treatment plan.
- Functional Medicine Meets Research: While promising, Dr. Irfan emphasizes L-Carnosine is one part of a bigger picture—diet, hydration, stress management, and blood sugar control remain essential. Supplements should always be pharmaceutical-grade and third-party tested.
