Around 60 to 70 percent of the people from India reside in rural areas and usually opt for herbal medicine for illness from local traditional medicine practitioners before seeking allopathic advice. Kidneys play a central role in excretion of the metabolites of these substances or the substances themselves. Renal injury happens in the form of acute tubular necrosis, interstitial nephritis, rhabdomyolysis, nephrolithiasis, urothelial cancers and rarely renal cortical necrosis and progressive interstitial fibrosis. Physicians and patients may ignore the potential nephrotoxicity caused by certain herbal medicines, assuming them to be harmless. Adverse event reporting is usually done on a voluntary basis, and toxicity has been reported through case reports and series. It is important for clinicians to factor in the use of herbal medicines when treating patients with unexplained acute kidney injury or progressive chronic kidney disease. We hereby present a case series of renal injury mediated by herbal medications with different mechanism of injury to kidney. This article is first of its type reported from central India.

Materials and methods Search strategyElectronic literature searches were conducted in Mai 2020 to identify case reports of nephrotoxicity associated with herbal medicines use in the last two decade. The scientific resources including PubMed, Scopus, and Science direct were searched using key words such as: 'case report', 'Renal side effect', 'adverse effects', 'Nephrotoxicity', 'Risk', 'Herbal Medicine', 'kidney disease'. The spectrum of herbal induced kidney injuries included kidney stones, nephritis, nephrotic syndrome, necrosis, acute kidney injury, chronic kidney disease, and death. English articles were the primary focus, but some reports in other languages were considered. Inclusion and exclusion criteriaEligible studies had to fulfil the following criteria: Included studies were case reports of nephrotoxicity associated to herbs use worldwide between 2000 and 2020.Exclusion criteria: Case reports were excluded if they involved mushrooms, poisonous plants, self-harm, excessive doses (except vitamins/minerals), drug-herbal interactions and commercial dietary supplement.
