Abstract

Indiscriminate use of herbal products is a common practice in Nigeria, with commercial motor park workers being major consumers. Unfortunately, there is a dearth of reports on the use of predictive markers to track kidney and liver injuries in this population. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of kidney and liver toxicity among commercial motor park workers consuming herbal medicine using predictive markers of kidney and liver damage.
