![]() When cysts become big, they disrupt kidney function. During the course of the disease, a patient develops multiple growing cysts in both kidneys. May prevent the progression of polycystic kidney diseaseĪutosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a hereditary kidney condition that occurs in around 0.1%–0.4% of people worldwide. Given turmeric's anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative effects, it's possible to use it as a complementary treatment for hemodialysis patients. Unfortunately, hemodialysis can remove beneficial antioxidants from the patient's body and contribute to oxidative stress. ![]() This treatment removes waste and water from your blood when your kidneys can't do it properly. ![]() People who live with chronic kidney disease require hemodialysis often. Complementary therapy for hemodialysis patients While more studies need to be done to confirm this, there is a good chance that curcumin may slow down the overall progression of chronic kidney disease. However, study participants who took curcumin didn't experience an increase in uremic toxins. When the damage to the kidneys becomes worse, the amount of the above toxins usually increases. This can be beneficial for controlling chronic kidney disease.Ĭurcumin stimulates the production of proteolytic enzymes (enzymes that break down proteins) that help metabolize uremic toxins (indoxyl sulfate and p-cresyl sulfate), both of which contribute to the progression of chronic kidney disease. Eases chronic kidney diseaseĪ recent study¹⁰ demonstrates that taking curcumin supplements increases the levels of beneficial gut microbes that limit toxic activity. While curcumin can cause kidney stone formation, it also has various benefits for people with kidney problems. Benefits of turmeric to people with kidney problems The powerful antioxidant and inflammatory properties of curcumin can postpone the onset of age-related diseases and improve the health status of older people. In addition to health benefits, turmeric can play a significant role in slowing down the aging process. Curcumin protects the stomach lining from inflammation caused by this bacterium and prevents the ulcer from occurring. Some gastrointestinal ulcers are caused by a bacterium called helicobacter pylori. It plays a significant role in treating gastric ulcers. Curcumin can protect the cardiovascular system by lowering cholesterol and triglyceride levels. It can stop the growth of various bacteria, parasites, and fungi.Ĭardiovascular. It can prevent new cancers caused by chemotherapy or radiation therapy.Īntimicrobial. Turmeric prevents platelets from binding together (this improves circulation but can prevent clotting).Īntimutagenic. Curcuminprotects the liver from numerous toxins, mostly as a result of antioxidant properties.īetter circulation. It reduces inflammation by decreasing histamine levels and possibly by raising the production of natural cortisone. It protects against free radical damage (this can benefit cancer prevention, lower the chances of developing age-related eye diseases, and may prevent heart disease).Īnti-inflammatory. Studies⁹ demonstrated its numerous beneficial effects, including:Īntioxidative. Turmeric, or, to be more precise, curcumin, has a variety of health benefits. For example, when you eat turmeric together with black pepper, the bioavailability of curcumin may increase by an impressive 2000%.⁷ However, when combined with other elements, the bioavailability of this ingredient can increase dramatically. Meanwhile, if a person has rapid metabolism, the therapeutic effect of curcumin is even lower. Bioavailabilityĭue to poor absorption, curcumin has poor bioavailability (how much of the substance can enter your bloodstream). Pure curcumin makes up about 75% of all curcuminoids in turmeric. Curcuminoids (active compounds in turmeric) comprise around 2%–9%⁶ of turmeric. It's worth noting that while curcumin is the active ingredient of turmeric, its content in this spice is rather low. This, in turn, protects your cells from damage. It can play an important role in developing such conditions as diabetes, cancer, coronary heart disease, and inflammation.Ĭurcumin protects your body from free radicals that prevail when oxidative stress occurs. ![]() Generally, oxidative stress is harmful to the human body. ![]() Oxidative stress⁵ occurs when there is an imbalance between the production and accumulation of oxygen-reactive species (also called free radicals) in your cells and tissues. They protect the body's tissues against oxidative stress. Polyphenols are the most effective antioxidants that you receive from your diet. It may also help with:Ĭurcumin is a polyphenol that belongs to the ginger family. Research³ shows that curcumin can help manage oxidative and inflammatory conditions. Turmeric's active ingredient, curcumin, comes with substantial biological properties. ![]()
