Abstract

Oxidative stress is a state of excessive free radicals and is commonly found with diseased kidneys. Therefore, development of antioxidant-based therapy has been of great interest to biomedical scientists for kidney disease management. One of the drawbacks of using natural antioxidants is their low bioavailability, which limits their anti-free radical efficacy. This commentary discusses novel antioxidant gold-platinum nanoparticles and their potential for prevention of kidney failure in patients who are diagnosed with chronic kidney disease.
