Herbal granule shows promise in easing kidney harm from cancer drugs

This study looked at whether Huaier Granule, a traditional Chinese medicine, can reduce protein in the urine—a sign of kidney damage—caused by anti-angiogenesis targeted therapy in 76 adults with advanced liver or bile duct cancer. Participants took the granule for 8 weeks, and researchers measured changes in urine protein levels. The goal was to see if the treatment could ease this side effect without curing the cancer itself.
