Efficacy of Yishen Jiangzhuo granules in the treatment of chronic kidney disease stages 3-4: a retrospective cohort study.

Article C Peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

This study looked back at 1,247 people with stage 3–4 kidney disease and found those who took Yishen Jiangzhuo granules for over 6 months had slower kidney decline, but because it was not a randomized trial, it only shows a link—not proof the granules caused the benefit.
