Happy gut, happy kidneys? Restoration of gut microbiome ameliorates acute and chronic kidney disease.

ABSTRACT: In a new study, Zhu et al. (2021) show that mitigating dysbiosis by the probiotic L. casei Zhang reduces kidney inflammation via restoring short-chain fatty acid-producing gut microbiome and nicotinamide metabolism. These findings shed light on the underlying mechanisms of probiotics in treating human kidney diseases.
