Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This research will investigate the effect of oral probiotic supplements on renal function, uremic toxins inflammatory response, nutrition status, gastrointestinal symptoms, and QoL with Chronic kidney disease.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) with gut microbiota was different from a normal person. Some gut microbiota produces short-chain fatty acids or induces functional enzymes beneficial to patients. On the other hand, some gut microbiota may also metabolize amino acids into p-cresol and indole which were leading to the accumulation of urinary toxins and damage to the kidney. This research will investigate the effect of oral probiotic supplements on renal function, uremic toxins, inflammatory response, nutrition status, gastrointestinal symptoms, and QoL with CKD.
