In recent years, BBR has been proved to protect kidney by alleviating various pathological changes. BBR can improve renal insufficiency and renal inflammation. In addition, BBR can inhibit renal tubular epithelial-mesenchymal transdifferentiation, glomerular mesangial cell proliferation and ECM accumulation, and alleviate renal interstitial fibrosis. BBR can play a role in protecting kidney for many kidney diseases such as renal ischemia-reperfusion injury, diabetic kidney disease and renal atherosclerosis, and is a potential drug for delaying the progress of kidney diseases.
