Abstract excerpt

Background: Therapeutic approaches that target the gut microbiota (GM) may be helpful in the potential prevention and treatment of IgA nephropathy (IgAN). Meanwhile, relevant studies demonstrated a correlation between GM and IgAN, however, these confounding evidence cannot prove a causal relationship between GM and IgAN.
