Chronic kidney disease patients can eat Chinese medicine has been debated for a long time. Almost every year since the aristolochic acidosis in 2003 reported that people eating Chinese medicine would accelerate the deterioration of the kidneys and even kidney failure. A nationwide large-scale, long-term study found that patients with chronic kidney disease who underwent general western care and combined with appropriate Chinese medicine could reduce the risk of kidney failure and also reduce their mortality. We urge people to look for qualified professional Chinese medicine practitioners, do not buy unknown Chinese medicines themselves, and do not recommend picking and cooking herbs themselves.
