Study of Anthurium schlechtendalii Kunth Extract Effects on Nephroprotective or Renal Damage Remission Capacity

Conclusion: Using adenine-induced renal damage as a model and specific dose and administration time of A. schlechtendalii Kunth polar extract, the potential for its nephroprotective action or remission capacity was not evident in the animals under study. There must be more studies to follow this first one in order to accrue enough scientific knowledge that can support or reject medico-ethnobotanical uses or claims of A. schlechtendalii Kunth, particularly those linked with the renal or urinary system.
