Abstract
Controlling chronic inflammatory processes, which are a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease, is of outstanding importance in CKD to reduce the rate of CKD-associated morbidity. This investigation connects microbial dysbiosis and bacterial metabolite imbalance to a proinflammatory immune cell signature. The fact that these dysbiosis-driven immunologic changes are already detectable in children with CKD, in whom comorbidities usually found in adults are absent, highlights the importance and specificity of CKD-related microbiota-immune interaction for chronic inflammation. Personalized dietary interventions and microbiota-targeted therapies may be a promising area of research to improve the prognosis of young and old patients with CKD.
