Specific alterations in gut microbiota in patients with chronic kidney disease: an updated systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Emerging evidence demonstrates that gut dysbiosis is implicated in the pathogenesis of chronic kidney disease (CKD) with underlying mechanisms involving mucosal and/or systematic immunity or metabolic disorders. However, the profile of gut microbiota in patients with CKD has not been completely explored.

Methods

Databases from their date of inception to 31 March 2020 were systematically searched for case-control or cross-sectional studies comparing the gut microbial profiles in adult patients with CKD or end-stage renal disease (ESRD) with those in healthy controls. Quantitative analysis of alterations in gut microbial profiles was conducted.

Results

Twenty-five studies with a total of 1436 CKD patients and 918 healthy controls were included. The present st
