The gut microbiota profile of adults with kidney disease and kidney stones: a systematic review of the literature.

ABSTRACT:

Background

There is mounting evidence that individuals with kidney disease and kidney stones have an abnormal gut microbiota composition. No studies to date have summarised the evidence to categorise how the gut microbiota profile of these individuals may differ from controls. Synthesis of this evidence is essential to inform future clinical trials. This systematic review aims to characterise differences of the gut microbial community in adults with kidney disease and kidney stones, as well as to describe the functional capacity of the gut microbiota and reporting of diet as a confounder in these studies.

Methods

Included studies were those that investigated the gut microbial community in adults with kidney disease or kidney stones and compared this to the profile of control
