Metagenome-wide analysis uncovers gut microbial signatures and implicates taxon-specific functions in end-stage renal disease

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The gut microbiota plays a crucial role in regulating host metabolism and producing uremic toxins in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Our objective is to advance toward a holistic understanding of the gut ecosystem and its functional capacity in such patients, which is still lacking. RESULTS: Herein, we explore the gut microbiome of 378 hemodialytic ESRD patients and 290 healthy...
