HMM: Vitamin B is potential way to treat acute kidney injury.

Researchers at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston found that levels of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, which are the end result of vitamin B3 after ingestion, declines in acute kidney injury cases. They published their findings Monday in the journal Nature Medicine.

“These findings are very early, but the results suggest that we could one day have a non-invasive test for NAD+ status and perhaps even treat acute kidney injury by boosting NAD+ levels,” principal investigator Dr. Samir M. Parikh, an associate professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, said in a press release.

I take Niagen, which is supposed to increase NAD+ levels, so maybe that will help me out if I ever suffer an acute kidney injury. Which I hope is never.
