Experimental Treatment of Chronic Renal Failure with Evening Primrose Oil 1994.2.18

This oil contains various unsaturated fatty acids and has a good therapeutic effect on non-immunological chronic renal failure. Increasing the linoleic acid content in the diet can increase glomerular filtration rate and decrease serum creatinine levels in animals with chronic renal failure (CRF). Some also believe that polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) can improve the progression of chronic renal failure. Evening primrose is very rich in linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid, both of which are unsaturated fatty acids. Using this drug to treat renal failure is a promising approach.
