Targeting Inflammation in CKD-Related Anemia: The Emerging Role of Lactoferrin as an Adjunctive Therapy
Key takeaways
This is a review article arguing that lactoferrin, a protein found in milk, might help with the low blood counts (anemia) that come with kidney disease, by calming inflammation. It is a discussion of an idea, not a trial. There are no results in people reported here, so nothing has been shown to work yet.
