This can give rise to various ailments and compromise one’s physical condition. Throughout ancient history, plants have been employed for medicinal purposes in treating a wide array of ailments with one such plant being tea (Camellia sinensis L). Tea is renowned for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It contains bioactive compounds, notably polyphenols, which contribute to enhancing health. Polyphenols serve as therapeutic agents for the kidneys and can prevent the onset of other degenerative disease. Prior research has demonstrated that EGCG, a derivative of polyphenols, can safeguard the kidneys against ischemia-reperfusion injury, kidney fibrosis, and inflammation. Catechins, a subcategory of polyphenols, act as antioxidants, anti-inflammatories, and anti-apoptotic agents, thereby shielding kidney cells.
