Tocotrienol-rich vitamin E
improves diabetic nephropathy and persists 6-9 months after washout: a phase IIa
randomized controlled trial - Ther Adv Endocrinol Metab. 2019 Dec 25 -
"receive Tocovid 200 mg or placebo for 12 weeks ...
Patients were reassessed 6-9 months post-washout. After 12 weeks of
supplementation, Tocovid significantly decreased serum creatinine levels (mean
difference: -3.3 ± 12.6 versus 5.4 ± 14.2, p = 0.027) and significantly increase
eGFR (mean difference: 1.5 ± 7.6 versus -2.9 ± 8.0, p = 0.045) compared with
placebo ... Subgroup analysis revealed that in patients with low serum vitamin E
concentrations at baseline, Tocovid reduced serum creatinine, eGFR, and VCAM-1
significantly. After 6-9 months of washout, persistent difference in serum
creatinine remained between groups (mean difference: 0.82 ± 8.33 versus
11.26 ± 15.47, p = 0.031), but not eGFR. Tocovid at 400 mg/day significantly
improved renal function in 12 weeks of supplementation, as assessed by serum
creatinine and eGFR, which remained significant 6-9 months post-washout"

Pine bark extract may benefit blood pressure-related kidney health -
Nutra USA, 3/5/10 - "55 hypertensive patients to
participate in the randomized, controlled study. Subjects were assigned to
receive Ramipril [an ACE inhibitor] (10 mg per day), and 29 of these people
were randomly selected to also receive Pycnogenol (150 mg per day) ... After
six months in the Ramipril-only group the albumin levels decreased by 26 per
cent to 64 mg per 24-hour period, while additional Pycnogenol produced
levels that averaged 39 mg per 24-hour period, equivalent to a 57 per cent
decrease ... Statistically significant decreases in patients’ blood pressure
were also observed, with systolic and diastolic blood pressures dropping by
more than 30 and 8 per cent, respectively in the Ramipril-only group, and by
a further 3 to 6 per cent in the combination group ... Diastolic and
systolic blood flow improved by 8 and 12 per cent, in the combination group"

Kidney flow and function in hypertension: protective effects of pycnogenol in
hypertensive participants--a controlled study - J Cardiovasc Pharmacol Ther.
2010 Mar;15(1):41-6 - "evaluated the effects of
Pycnogenol as an adjunct to angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE)-inhibitor
ramipril treatment of hypertensive patients presenting with early signs of renal
function problems. One group of 26 patients was medicated with 10 mg ramipril
per day only; a second group of 29 patients took Pycnogenol in addition to the
ACE inhibitor over a period of 6 months ... Urinary albumin decreased from 87
+/- 23 to 64 +/- 16 mg/d with ramipril only. Additional Pycnogenol lowered
albumin significantly better from 91 +/- 25 to 39 +/- 13 mg/day (P < .05). In
both groups, serum creatinine was lowered; however, only in the combination
treatment group did the effect reached statistical significance. In both groups,
CRP levels decreased from 2.1 to 1.8 with ramipril and from 2.2 to 1.1 with the
ramipril-Pycnogenol combination; the latter reached statistical significance.
Kidney cortical flow velocity was investigated by Doppler color duplex
ultrasonography. Both systolic and diastolic flow velocities increased
significantly after 6 months medication with ramipril. The addition of
Pycnogenol to the regimen statistically significantly further enhanced kidney
cortical flow velocities, by 8% for diastolic flow and 12% for systolic flow,
relative to values found for the group taking ramipril only" - See
