Effect of aqueous extract and anthocyanins of calyces of <i>Hibiscus sabdariffa</i> (Malvaceae) in rats with adenine-induced chronic kidney disease

Abstract

The results obtained show that both H. sabdariffa and its anthocyanins could be considered as possible promising safe dietary agents that could be used to attenuate the progression of human CKD. This could have added significance as H. sabdariffa tea is widely consumed in many parts of Africa and Asia and is thus readily available.
