Hepatotoxicity and Nephrotoxicity of Rhei Radix et Rhizoma and Its Attenuation Methods
Rhei Radix et Rhizoma is a common medicine in clinic
which is widely used for a variety of diseases
such as constipation
jaundice
peptic ulcer
bacillary dysentery. In recent years
there have been many cases of clinical abuse and increasing number of adverse reactions about Rhei Radix et Rhizoma. Many reports concerned with its toxicity have drawn more and more attention at home and abroad. This review makes a brief summary on the toxicity research of Rhei Radix et Rhizoma in recent years in the aspects of hepatotoxicity
nephrotoxicity and its corresponding toxicity-controlling methods. Liver and kidney toxicity of Rhei Radix et Rhizoma was explained in various aspects
including liver and kidney biochemical indicators
apoptosis
mitochondrial function
gene and protein expression and signaling pathway. Besides
the attenuation methods of Rhei Radix et Rhizoma were summarized in aspects of processing and compatibility of traditional Chinese medicine. In conclusion
this study explains hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity of Rhei Radix et Rhizoma objectively
and explore relevant toxicological mechanisms
in order to provide proper reference for its further research and the safety of clinical use.
