Benfotiamine may protect against diabetic nephropathy by reducing albumin excretion in urine, a sign of kidney damage. It potentially works by reducing AGEs and oxidative stress in the kidneys.
Benfotiamine, a derivative of thiamine (vitamin B1), may protect against diabetic nephropathy, a type of kidney damage caused by diabetes. The proposed mechanism involves reducing the accumulation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and oxidative stress in kidney tissues, which contribute to kidney dysfunction. Specifically, benfotiamine might reduce albuminuria, the excretion of excessive amounts of albumin in the urine, which is a key marker of kidney damage and dysfunction.
