1.2 At least 13,000 people die from kidney (renal) disease in the UK each year, although this is an underestimation as many deaths of patients with renal failure are not recorded as such in mortality statistics. Kidney diseases can occur suddenly (‘acute’) or over months and years (‘chronic’). Chronic kidney disease is relatively common, with the majority of patients being elderly and having mi...

Kidney diseases endanger human health and place a heavy burden on global care systems. The current study aimed to explore the beneficial advances of alginate oligosaccharides (AOS) as functional food kidney structure function, underlying mechanisms with busulfan disrupted model. We found that AOS improved renal tubules. Busulfan increased protein levels injury marker molecule-1, apoptosis caspa...
