Can Vitamin B1 Reverse Kidney Disease?

Diabetic nephropathy is a kidney disease that is found in those with type 2 diabetes. In the early stages of this kidney disease there is a high secretion of the protein albumin leaked into the urine. This is called microabuminuria, which is an important marker for kidney disease. Recently researchers at the University of Warwick have been curious as to whether taking large doses of thiamine could reserve this secretion, and therefore reverse kidney disease in type 2 diabetes patients in its early stages. Their curiosity paid off – research shows that thiamine, also known as vitamin B1, can reverse early diabetic kidney disease.

This article takes a look at the research leading to the discovery that vitamin B1 can help reverse early stage kidney disease by decreasing the albumin secretion by 41 percent. The article gives information about how many patients were in the study, how much thiamine was administered, how it was administered, the age of the patients, and whether or not placebos were used.
