Abstract

Herbal medicines are believed
to be effective in the treatment of many diseases. The genius
Teucrium is
a member of
Lamiaceae family, which contains more than 300 species. Antimutagenic,
anticancer, hypoglycemic, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, antiulcer,
hypolipidemic and antidiarrheal effects of
Teucrium polium have been reported
in the studies. In this article, we describe an acute kidney injury (AKI),
which is thought to have developed as a result of T.
polium
use for the treatment of diabetes mellitus.
It should not be forgotten that herbal medicine is an important reason for AKI.
In addition, community should be made aware of the danger of herbal medicines which
especially have potential renal and hepatic side effects.
