The finding of a natural source for treatment of Chronic Kidney disease  has been running into many obstacles, many ingredients showed initially with promising result in animal studies have not produced same potentials in large sample size and mutli centers human trials.

Chronic Kidney disease is defined as a condition of the progression loss of kidney function over period of many years. Stage of chronic kidney disease according to the National Kidney Foundation's Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative (KDOQ). According to the George Institute for Global
Health, The presence of antioxidant may induced some benefits, particularly in those on dialysis(1).
Dr. Zachara BA said, "Oxidative stress plays a key role in numerous disease processes including chronic kidney disease (CKD). In general, oxygen metabolism leads to the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) dangerous to cells"(2).
Selenium, found abundantly in Brazil nut, was effectively in ameliorated oxidative stress and inflammation in hemodialysis (HD) patients, after 12 months through attenuated 8-isoprostane, 8-OHdG, the free radicals and cytokines, increased and the activity of GPx and expressed selenium plasma levels(3).
According to the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), hemodialysis (HD) patients may be benefits in consumption of only one Brazil nut per day in 3 months as the study insisted that the procedure not only is effective against the inflammation, oxidative stress markers, and the atherogenic risk, but also improved the antioxidant defenses in HD patients(4).

Honey, the rich golden liquid is the miraculous product made by bees using nectar from flowers. It is considered as one of healthy sweet food for replacing the use of white sugar and artificial sweetener by many people. may also process the property as an antioxidant in reduced the expression of oxidative stress.  According to the Universiti Sains Malaysia, "administered alone or in combination with conventional therapy, honey might be a novel antioxidant in the management of chronic diseases commonly associated with oxidative stress"(5).

Dr,. Johnson DW and colleagues suggested, honey may also be effective against antibiotic-resistant microorganisms induced hemodialysis catheters infection of HD patients, topically(6).

Omega 3 fatty acids found abundantly in flax seed may be used conjunction with a cholesterol-lowering medication atorvastatin for treatment of chronic kidney disease (CKD)(7).

treatment of omega-3 FA-supplemented group after 6 months expressed a clinical benefit of increased vitamin D, fetuin-A levels, and modified erythrocyte membrane FA contents in dialysis patients of that reduced risk complications of vascular calcification and cardiovascular disease(8).

The finding of the effectiveness of Brazil Nut, Flax Seed and Honey may serve as cornerstones of pharmaceutical target for further studies as well as a potential medication for treatment of Chronic Kidney disease.
