Hi P1kumar,

I had to look up nefrosave and I am not sure why you doctor is giving this to you for kidney disease. I would ask them. As far as curing you kidney issue, there is no CURE for kidney disease, but there are multiple things you can do to preserve you kidney function that you do have. For you, the best thing you can do is maintain good glucose control.

Here is a list of the stages of kidney disease and it suggests you are at stage two according to your numbers. There are many things that factor in the diagnosis of kidney disease such as age and other lab information.

I worked with mucomyst(nefrosave) as a respiratory therapist. It's an interesting drug.

"How does mucomyst work to protect kidneys?

Patients at risk of RCIN currently receive fluids, a low dose of contrast, and variable and unproven doses of acetylcysteine. ... Since acetylcysteine is a vasodilator as well as an antioxidant, it may work in two distinct ways, by preventing reduction in renal blood flow (RBF) or contrast-induced oxidative damage."

They also use it for tylenol overdose.
