Summary: Using CBD for Kidney Disease<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cannabis could be a useful aid in managing certain symptoms of kidney disease \u2014 which often includes chronic pain<\/a>, nausea, emesis, anemia, itching, insomnia, and an overall lack of well-being<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s evidence that CBD and other related cannabinoids can support the health of the kidneys during both acute and chronic kidney disease in mice \u2014 though this has yet to be confirmed with research on humans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the main advantages of using CBD over other pain medications is that it doesn\u2019t cause any additional damage to the kidneys.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other pain medications \u2014 such as acetaminophen or opiate medications \u2014 are metabolized by the liver and eliminated through the kidneys. These drugs have been shown to cause damage to the sensitive cells making up the kidneys, which can lead to a worsening of the condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBD is also metabolized by the liver but has been proven not to cause additional damage to the kidneys \u2014 making it a non-toxic option for managing kidney-related pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Benefits of CBD for Kidney Disease:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
  1. Potentially reduces pain associated with common side-effects of kidney disease<\/strong><\/li>
  2. May slow the progression of kidney disease<\/strong><\/li>
  3. Studies suggest it may lower inflammation of the kidneys<\/strong><\/li>
  4. Could help protect the kidneys from oxidative damage<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    What’s the Dose of CBD Oil? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Kidney disease is a severe disease so any potential treatment options should be discussed with a medical doctor.<\/strong> This condition can quickly lead to serious consequences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    With that said, many people with kidney disease are turning to CBD as an adjunctive treatment option along with other medications and diet\/lifestyle modifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Finding the right dose of CBD<\/a> can be a challenge, as the compound affects everybody differently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Unfortunately, there isn\u2019t much research highlighting the effective dose of CBD for kidney disease \u2014 most of the research done up to this point has been investigating the safety of using CBD with kidney disease (which is positive) and animal testing to explore how it works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We can use dosage information from similar conditions, such as liver or cardiovascular disease<\/a> which involve similar mechanisms of action. Usually, these conditions require higher doses of CBD to produce effects.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Therefore, it\u2019s likely that the dose of CBD should be on the higher end of the spectrum to be useful for kidney disease.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Whenever using CBD (or any supplement for that matter) for the first time, it\u2019s essential that you start with a small dose, and build up gradually over time once you know how it affects you individually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We recommend starting at the low-strength dose and build up slowly over time to the medium or high-strength doses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Calculating CBD Dosage Strengths By Weight<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    Unit of Measure<\/strong><\/td>Low Strength<\/strong><\/td>Medium Strength<\/strong><\/td>High Strength<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
    Imperial (pounds)<\/strong><\/td>1 mg every 10 lbs<\/td>3 mg every 10 lbs<\/td>6 mg every 10 lbs<\/td><\/tr>
    Metric (kilograms)<\/strong><\/td>1 mg every 4.5 kg<\/td>3 mg every 4.5 kg<\/td>6 mg every 4.5 kg<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Using this information, you can calculate what a low dose, medium dose, or high dose of CBD may look like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    To simplify this for you, we\u2019ve included a dosing chart based on weight and desired strengths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
