Effect of Bee Venom on Chronic Kidney Disease-Mineral Bone Disorders in Hemodialysis Patients: a Randomized Controlled Trial

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of bee venom injections as a treatment for chronic kidney disease (CKD)-mineral bone disorder (MBD) in patients undergoing hemodialysis. MBD is a common complication in CKD patients, leading to abnormal mineral metabolism, bone disease, and increased cardiovascular risks. Current treatments are often inadequate and can have significant side effects. In this study, we will compare the effects of bee venom injections with standard care treatments in hemodialysis patients. Bee venom is known for its potential anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties, which may help improve mineral metabolism and bone health regulation in these patients. By stimulating regulatory T cells (Tregs) through bee venom, we aim to reduce inflammation and restore bone health. We hope to answer whether bee venom can effectively reduce mineral bone disorder markers (such as calcium, phosphorus, and parathyroid hormone levels) and improve bone density in hemodialysis patients. The results could lead to a new treatment option for CKD-MBD, improving patient outcomes and quality of life.
