Summary
This study looked at whether a high-protein drink with added curcumin (a compound from turmeric) could lower inflammation and oxidative stress in adults on hemodialysis for advanced kidney disease. 39 participants were randomly assigned to receive either the curcumin drink or a plain high-protein drink for 8 weeks. Researchers measured blood markers of inflammation and stress at the start, end of treatment, and 4 weeks later.
