Kaempferitrin attenuates unilateral ureteral obstruction-induced renal inflammation and fibrosis in mice by inhibiting NOX4-mediated tubular ferroptosis.

Summary

Kaempferitrin from Bauhinia forficata leaves inhibits tubular ferroptosis, reducing renal inflammation and fibrosis in CKD. It protects renal function, decreases iron levels, and inhibits NOX4-mediated ferroptosis, offering potential therapeutic value for CKD.
