Improper Use of Aristolochia Can Lead to Kidney Failure


Aristolochia is a traditional Chinese herbal medicine and has been used since ancient times. However, it is reported that many people developed Kidney Failure for improper use of aristolochia.
Kidneys are the cleaner in human body and they can excrete the metabolic toxins by filtering blood and producing urine. In aristolochia, it contains a component aristolochic acid which has renal toxicity. If aristolochia is used improperly or used for a long time, the toxins will build up in body resulting in renal and liver injury.
According some researches, the metabolite of aristolochia acid bind to DNA (aristolactam (AL)-DNA adducts) in kidney cortex of the patients with Kidney Failure caused by aristolochia. These adducts, formed by the reaction of aristolochic acid and DNA. Afterwards, the kidneys arouse an inflammatory response to clear up adducts from body. As a result, the inflammation will impair the kidneys gradually. If the inflammation can not be corrected as early as possible, it will cause renal injury persistently and finally develop Kidney Failure.
However, if aristolochia is used properly together with other Chinese medicines like liquorice to dissolve the toxicity, it has a favorable effect on people.
In Chinese medicine, the different components of a formula interact and influence each other and they undergo a synergy which can guarantee the safety of the medicines. Therefore, the persons should be not buy Chinese medicine without prescription by professional doctors.
