Bee product could ease kidney disease inflammation
NCT ID NCT07597005
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a natural substance called red propolis can lower inflammation and oxidative stress in people with chronic kidney disease (stages 3-5) who are not yet on dialysis. Researchers will measure changes in inflammatory markers like IL-6 and TNF-α. The goal is to see if propolis can help manage disease complications, not cure the condition.
