Melatonin and kidneys? Most people know about this naturally occurring hormone that controls the sleep–wake cycle and can be purchased in supplement form as a natural sleep aid. However, most people don’t know the other benefits melatonin offers to the kidneys.

In an observational study published in Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, melatonin use was seen to significantly reduce the risk for acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients treated with vancomycin, according to a new observational study published in Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy. The study determined there were 63% decreased odds of acute kidney injury for patients treated with vancomycin that also took melatonin.

Vancomycin is an antibiotic administrated orally to combat bacteria in the intestines. Vancomycin is used as treatment for intestinal infections caused by Clostridium difficile, along with staph infections that can cause inflammation of the colon and small intestines.
Vancomycin can cause acute kidney injury through oxidative stress and mitochondrial damage. Vancomycin’s infection fighting properties are also the reason for its causation of an imbalance of free radicals and antioxidants in the body. Along with kidney damage, oxidative stress can make a person age faster. Because melatonin an antioxidant, it helps to restore this imbalance, specifically protecting the kidneys.

Acute Kidney Injuries are especially detrimental to people with chronic kidney disease, as the kidneys are already weak and not working properly. Therefore, it may be extra beneficial for CKD sufferers to take melatonin in tandem with Vancomycin for an added layer of renal protection.

This is good news because melatonin is relatively benign, easily accessible, and offers that sleeping assistance it’s so famously known for. Also, the doses used in the study were 3 to 5 mg. This lines up with does one might take on a nightly basis. Melatonin as a method to protect the kidneys when taking certain antibiotics is a fascinated discovery and deserves to be researched more thoroughly.
