Hi Forum,
I am a 50 year old male, diagnosed with kidney disfunction. My blood creatinine is 1.6, and my BUN, 40.
Has anyone tried the Chinese herbal medicine, Liu wei di huang wan? It is supposed to:"tonify kidney's yin".
I have also heard that flax seed oil is good. Anyone have experience with it?
Thank you!
Sincerely,
Mike

Hi and Welcome to ehealth.. Smile

I would check with your doctor before taking any supplements to cleanse your kidneys.

Did your doctors say anything about your kidney function?
