A practically highly useful tool is the ability to proactively utilize the intestinal route to modulate the kidney functionality. According to Ayurvedic texts, urine formation commences in the intestine. Thus, if the raw material that is fed to the kidneys from the intestine is good, major stress on kidney is potentially relieved. This forms the dietary basis of kidney functional rejuvenation as depicted here. Biomarkers of dietary influence and intestinal uptake in kidney function/ injury/ dysfunction will be investigated.
