Shenqi Yanshen Decoction protects against renal and bone injury in chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder with potential involvement of Wnt5a/RhoA/Pkn3 signaling.

Key takeaways

A traditional Chinese herbal mix called Shenqi Yanshen Decoction was tested against the kidney and bone damage that often comes with chronic kidney disease. The work was done in lab animals and cells, not in people. The researchers report less kidney and bone injury, and point to one cell signaling route (Wnt5a/RhoA/Pkn3) as a possible reason. This is early animal work, so it does not show the formula helps patients.
