Implication for health policy/practice/research/medical education: Diabetic nephropathy refers to any deleterious effect on kidney structure and/or function due to diabetes mellitus. One of the most severe and common complications of diabetes is renal disease. There are lots of other medicinal plants, with antioxidant and hypoglycemic activities. Most of the plants with antioxidant activities have been shown to reduce diabetic nephropathy too. Whether or not these plants act with the same mechanism is not clear and worth examining.
