Learn More »According to recently published case reports, the following herbs have been associated with renal failure. If these products consistently caused renal failure, then the FDA would probably take action. However, that is not the case, as these have been isolated cases. These findings were unexpected occurrences that resulted from unnaturally high doses of natural products. Renal failure can be like the perfect storm brewing. Sometimes it’s a combination of dehydration, sepsis, and poor renal perfusion due to blood pressure medications or diuretics. W Natural products in unnatural doses are usually not safe. Find summaries of the case reports below: 1.) Turmeric: A 54-year-old man who consumed large doses of turmeric, or about 15+ spoonfuls every day for 10 days reportedly had renal problems. He had a kidney transplant and was on tacrolimus to prevent rejection. However, the turmeric prevented the man’s liver from clearing the tacrolimus and the tacrolimus increased to toxic levels and put the man into renal failure. The renal failure was reversed when the turmeric was discontinued and the tacrolimus was held until levels returned to normal.1 2.) Lysine: Lysine is an amino acid that is popular for antiviral properties. There is a case report of a 44-year-old woman who used high doses of lysine, or about 3,000 mg every day for 5 years. She was diagnosed with fanconi syndrome and tubulointerstital nephritis and went on to develop chronic renal failure.2 3.) Vitamin C: Several reports exist documenting high doses of vitamin C, 60 grams/day, causing oxalate kidney stones that can deposit in the renal tubules and cause damage. Fortunately the renal failure is reversible with dialysis and supportive care.2 4.) Creatine: Creatine is often used in combination with strenuous muscle building. This combination takes a toll on the kidneys, especially when combined with dehydration. In extreme cases, people can develop rhabdomyolysis and die. It usually only happens in susceptible individuals.2 5.) Chromium is often used for weight loss. There are 3 case reports of chromium being involved in renal dysfunction. The kidneys were enlarged and inflamed. The patients all recovered after the chromium was stopped, 2 patients received hemodialysis. All 3 received corticosteroids.2
