Nephrotoxicity of Dietary Supplements and Alternative Medicine

A few weeks ago, one of our pharmacists gave a comprehensive presentation about the potential nephrotoxicity of a variety of commonly used herbal, alternative and dietary supplements. He has a particular interest in this as he deals largely with our transplant patients. There are many potential interactions between these compounds and immunosuppressant medications. He agreed to allow me put it up in full here. It is a really useful guide that I know I'll be referring to often in the future.
