Abstract:The gut dysbiosis present in chronic kidney disease (CKD) has been associated with anemia. Factors such as the accumulation of gut-derived uremic toxins, increased gut barrier permeability-induced inflammation, and a reduced intestinal production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), all associated with changes in the intestinal microbiota composition in CKD, may lead to the development or worsening of anemia in renal patients. Understanding and addressing these mechanisms related to gut dysbiosis in CKD patient… Show more
