[|Human|] Are kidney grandular supplements effect in treating kidney failure?Im a male, age 69, 140 lbs, diagnosed with kidney failure 5 months ago, doing dialysis 3 times a week. I might mention I lost 100lbs in the last year, and cant seem to gain weight now.  Thank you for your help.
[|AI|]  Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. As a Urologist, I can fully understand your concern.  Glandular nutritional supplements aren't routinely prescribed, by nephrologists.They're not found to be efficacious, as nutritional supplements of vitamins, and minerals. As you're now having CKD(chronic kidney disease), on maintained dialysis, these may not be of any benefit. These are of bovine(cow), ovine(sheep), or porcine(pig) origin. PMG(protomorphogens) are not of recorded benefit in this stage, and you're advised, not to try such nutrients, without your doctors' advice. Chat Doctor.  Manga.
