Nuclear Magnetic Resonance-Based Metabolomics Approach Revealed the Intervention Effect of Using Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) by CKD Patients.

ABSTRACT: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is the end point of a number of systemic chronic diseases. The prevalence of CKD is increasing worldwide and recent epidemiological studies are showing the high prevalence of renal failure in CKD patients using complementary and alternative medicines (CAMs). Clinicians believe that biochemical profiles of CKD patients using CAM (referred here to as CAM-CKD) may be different compared to those on standard clinical treatment and should be managed differently. The present study aims to explore the potential of the NMR-based metabolomics approach to reveal the serum metabolic disparity between CKD and CAM-CKD patients with respect to normal control (NC) subjects and if the differential metabolic patterns can provide rationale for the efficacy and safety of standard
