Dried ginger is also available, and can be found in the spice aisle of most supermarkets. The fresh root can be used to make a ginger tea, which is usually a few grams of dried root per cup of water.

Antioxidants help the body fight off free radicals, which cause inflammation and damage to cells and tissues. Studies have shown that a diet lacking in antioxidants increases oxidative stress in patients with kidney disease, which has a detrimental effect on kidney function. Another waste product that the kidneys remove from the blood is creatinine, which is produced by the breakdown of muscle tissue. Higher levels of creatinine in a person's blood indicate kidney damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One study found that ginger supplements had significant anti-inflammatory effects. Ginger prevented the formation of focal casts, slough, and dilation of tubular epithelial cells in the cortex of the kidneys. Further, ginger decreased the formation of excessive renal interstitial collagen deposits. Moreover, ginger suppressed the production of chemokine receptors-2 and fructose-stimulated monocyte chemotactic protein-1. Moreover, the ginger extract reduced the expression of inflammatory markers, such as interleukin-6 and CD68.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
