Iron treatment for kidney stones
We explored the potential of an innovative treatment for calcium oxalate (CaOx) nephropathies using ultrasmall iron-gallic acid (Fe-Ga) metal-phenolic networks. These nanonetworks showcase the unique ability to attach themselves to certain crystal surfaces, specifically targeting the high-energy faces of calcium oxalate crystals. By doing so, they inhibit the growth of these harmful crystals and encourage a transition to a less dangerous form.

Additionally, Fe-Ga MPNs have shown promise as powerful antioxidants, reducing oxidative damage and inflammation within the kidneys. This treatment seems to be particularly effective at accumulating where kidney injury occurs, subsequently aiding in tubule function and reducing overall kidney inflammation. The result is a multi-faceted approach to kidney stone treatment, combining crystallization inhibition with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.

Our analysis points to a shift in immune responses as a result of Fe-Ga MPNs, showing potential benefits in preventing future complications from kidney stones. Overall, this multifunctional treatment approach presents exciting opportunities for addressing kidney stones while also providing protective effects against oxidative stress and inflammation.

We explored the effectiveness of novel iron-based microparticles, known as Fe-MP, developed for their ability to bind to calcium oxalate kidney stone fragments. Our study aimed to examine their safety for cells and their functionality in the presence of human biologic fluids like urine and blood.

The microparticles were tested on different types of human and murine cell lines to assess their toxicity. We found that exposure to the Fe-MP resulted in minimal to no cellular toxicity, suggesting these particles are safe for use in a medical setting.

We also looked into how these particles performed in conditions similar to those encountered during endoscopic stone surgery. By incubating stone fragments with the Fe-MP in varying concentrations of urine and blood, we demonstrated that the particles remained effective, successfully attaching to the stones.

Overall, while we observed promising results with Fe-MP, further testing, particularly in animal models, is necessary to confirm these findings and explore their potential in actual clinical scenarios.

Effective for absorption
I ordered this for my child after a kidney transplant. The iron is perfectly absorbed with no negative effects on the intestines, and it doesn’t stain stools black. Over the month of use, iron levels increased significantly, and haemoglobin returned to normal.

Quick results
This was prescribed by my nephrologist for kidney and blood issues due to lack of iron. The results were swift; just two weeks later, my levels improved. I recommend it.

Gentle on stomach
Best iron supplement! For years, I've dealt with ferritin levels at 5, and prior pharmaceutical preparations gave me severe reactions. This iron is chelated and has had no negative effects on my kidneys. I can take it in the morning without issue! I take two capsules daily, feel better, and my ferritin has improved. The capsules are easy to swallow and don't stain stool or teeth.

Increased iron levels
Very satisfied. It helped to raise my ferritin and iron stores in the body, and it's very gentle without affecting the kidneys. I recommend it to everyone!

No kidney issues
I have taken this iron multiple times, drinking it in courses for 90 days. After a break due to latent anaemia, I take it exclusively with vitamin C for better absorption. Unlike pharmaceutical preparations, I have had no kidney problems from this, so I advise it for safe use!
