Oxidative stress is a common complication in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients, increasing cardiovascular disease risk. Nutritional strategies are being proposed, including using bioactive compounds in foods to mitigate oxidative stress since these compounds can be a scavenger of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Turmeric and propolis are foods that have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory capacity. However, no studies have shown the effects of these foods, especially as a mix, on the redox balance in patients with CKD.
