Synbiotics as a novel therapeutic approach for hyperphosphatemia and hyperparathyroidism in chronic kidney disease rats.

ABSTRACT: Hyperphosphatemia and secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) are the common complications found in CKD that lead to severe complications including mineral bone disease (MBD), vascular calcification (VC), and cardiovascular mortality. To mitigate hyperphosphatemia, SHPT and uremic toxemia, we supplemented cisplatin-induced CKD rats with a synbiotic composed of Lactobacillus salivarius LBR228, Bifidobacterium longum BFS309, fructo-oligosaccharide and chitosan oligosaccharide, with Lactobacillus casei as a standard probiotic control. After the 12 weeks experiment, rats supplemented with the synbiotic had lower serum phosphate, calcium-phosphorus product, serum parathyroid hormone, and indoxyl sulfate levels than untreated rats. The expression of type 1 RNA and protein expression were increased
