The prevalence of kidney disease has been identified as a major public health issues on a global
scale. The number of people with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) who require renal
replacement therapy is expected to be between 4.902 and 7.083 million worldwide per year.
Recent studies have shown that Moringa oleifera has a number of positive effects on kidney
functions including reducing serum creatinine level, blood urea nitrogen, kidney weight etc. In
this review the goal was to find the factors that lead to kidney disease. And how Moringa
oleifera can play a role in preventing kidney disease by eradicating or neutralizing these factors.
From the review articles it has been evident that the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti fibrotic properties of Moringa oleifera helps as a remedy for kidney disease. However, all these
animal studies highlight the necessity of conducting clinical trials of Moringa oleifera on
kidney disease.
