<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.Are kidney grandular supplements effect in treating kidney failure?Im a male, age 69, 140 lbs, diagnosed with kidney failure 5 months ago, doing dialysis 3 times a week. I might mention I lost 100lbs in the last year, and cant seem to gain weight now. Thank you for your help.  <response>: Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. As a Urologist, I can fully understand your concern. Glandular nutritional supplements arent routinely prescribed, by nephrologists.Theyre not found to be efficacious, as nutritional supplements of vitamins, and minerals. As youre now having CKDchronic kidney disease, on maintained dialysis, these may not be of any benefit. These are of bovinecow, ovinesheep, or porcinepig origin. PMGprotomorphogens are not of recorded benefit in this stage, and youre advised, not to try such nutrients, without your doctors advice. Chat Doctor. Manga.
