Traditional medicine refers to a diverse range of health and healing practices used by Indigenous peoples that incorporate plants, animals, and the spiritual realm for the diagnosis and treatment of illness or maintenance of health and well-being. While these practices hold significant cultural value, there is growing evidence of potential nephrotoxicity associated with some traditional indigenous medicines (TIMs). In this review, we explore the various clinical manifestations of nephrotoxicity induced by TIMs. Nephrotoxicity can result from various factors, including the intrinsic toxicity of certain herbs, contamination with heavy metals, inappropriate dosages, and interaction with conventional medications. This review highlights the importance of monitoring kidney function in patients using TIMs and calls for increased awareness and regulation to ensure the safe use of these traditional therapies.
