A passage from  Medicinal Plants of the Western Mountain States:

Regular use of the tea improves the filtering ability of compromised nephrons, often lessening high levels of protein, leukocytes, and erythrocytes in the urine. Don’t expect lost kidney function to return, but if plagued by low–level autoimmune/constitutional impairment of the area, Goldenrod will likely do some good. Moreover, it is indicated for difficult to resolve lumbar sensitivity, painful urination, and mucus discharge from related stone or infection involvements.
