Abstract: Kombucha is a fermented black tea, claimed to have wide range of beneficial effects on human health functions. The present study was aimed to investigate the effect of kombucha on diabetes induced alterations in the kidney. The effect of kombucha on blood glucose, plasma protein, albumin, urea and creatinine was examined in the control and experimental groups along with histopathological studies. The results of biochemical analysis showed a remarkable improvement in metabolic profile after kombucha administration. The histological studies showed glomerular and tubular damage in diabetic control rats. The kombucha treated group showed restoration in renal architecture. Thus kombucha may be of supportive treatment to combat diabetes complications, diabetic nephropathy.
