Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is characterized by irreversible progressive worsening of kidney function leading to kidney failure. CKD is viewed as a clinical model of premature aging and to date, there is no treatment to reverse kidney damage. The well-established treatment for CKD aims to control factors that may aggravate kidney progression and to provide kidney protection effects to delay the progression of kidney disease. As an alternative, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has been shown to have fewer adverse effects for CKD patients. However, there is a lack of clinical and molecular studies investigating the mechanisms by which natural products used in TCM can improve CKD. In recent years, autophagy and cellular senescence have been identified as key contributors to aging and age-related diseases. Exploring the potential of natural products in TCM to target these processes in CKD patients could slow disease progression. A better understanding of the characteristics of these natural products and their effects on autophagy and cellular senescence through clinical studies, coupled with the use of these products as complementary therapy alongside mainstream treatment, may maximize therapeutic benefits and minimize adverse effects for CKD patients. While promising, there is currently a lack of thorough research on the potential synergistic effects of these natural products. This review examines the use of natural products in TCM as an alternative treatment for CKD and discusses their active ingredients in terms of renoprotection, autophagy, and cellular senescence.
