Nutritional Therapy Modulates Intestinal Microbiota and Reduces Serum Levels of Total and Free Indoxyl Sulfate and P-Cresyl Sulfate in Chronic Kidney Disease (Medika Study).

ABSTRACT: In chronic kidney disease (CKD), the gut-microbiota metabolites indoxyl sulfate (IS) and p-cresyl sulfate (PCS) progressively accumulate due to their high albumin-binding capacity, leading to clinical complications. In a prospective crossover controlled trial, 60 patients with CKD grades 3B-4 (GFR = 21.6 ± 13.2 mL/min) were randomly assigned to two dietary regimens: (i) 3 months of free diet (FD) (FD is the diet usually used by the patient before being enrolled in the Medika study), 6 months of very low protein diet (VLPD), 3 months of FD and 6 months of Mediterranean diet (MD); (ii) 3 months of FD, 6 months of MD, 3 months of FD, and 6 months of VLPD. VLPD reduced inflammatory Proteobacteria and increased Actinobacteria phyla. MD and VLPD increased some butyrate-forming species of Lachnospiraceae, Ruminococcaceae, Prevotellaceae, Bifidobacteriaceae, and decrease the pathobionts Enterobacteriaceae. The increased level of potential anti-inflammatory Blautia and Faecalibacterium, as well as butyrate-forming Coprococcus and Roseburia species in VLPD was positively associated with dietary intakes and it was negatively correlated with IS and PCS. Compared to FD and MD, VLPD showed a lower amount of some Lactobacillus, Akkermansia, Streptococcus, and Escherichia species. MD and VLPD reduced both the total and free serum IS (MD -36%, -40% and VLPD -69%, -73%, respectively) and PCS (MD -38%, -44% and VLPD -58%, -71%, respectively) compared to FD. VLPD reduced serum D-lactate compared to MD and FD. MD and, to a greater extent, VLPD are effective in the beneficial modulation of gut microbiota, reducing IS and PCS serum levels, and restoring intestinal permeability in CKD patients.

Project description:Background and objectivesp-Cresyl sulfate and indoxyl sulfate contribute to cardiovascular disease and progression of renal disease. Renal clearance of both solutes mainly depends on tubular secretion, and serum concentrations are widely dispersed for any given stage of CKD. From this information, it is inferred that estimated GFR is not a suitable proxy of the clearance of these solutes. Formal clearance studies have, however, not been performed to date.Design, setting, participants, & measurementsThis study analyzed renal clearances of p-cresyl sulfate and indoxyl sulfate in the Leuven CKD cohort (NCT00441623; inclusion between November of 2005 and September of 2006) and explored their relationship with estimated GFR. Multivariate linear regression models were built to evaluate contributions of estimated GFR, demographics, and generation rates to p-cresyl sulfate and indoxyl sulfate serum concentrations.ResultsRenal clearances were analyzed in 203 patients with CKD stages 1-5. Indoxyl sulfate clearances (median=17.7, interquartile range=9.4-33.2 ml/min) exceeded p-cresyl sulfate clearances (median=6.8, interquartile range=3.4-12.0 ml/min) by about threefold. A linear relationship was observed between estimated GFR and clearances of p-cresyl sulfate (R(2)=0.50, P<0.001) and indoxyl sulfate (R(2)=0.55, P<0.001). In multivariate regression, p-cresyl sulfate concentrations were associated (R(2)=0.75) with estimated GFR and generation rate (both P<0.001). Indoxyl sulfate concentrations were associated (R(2)=0.74) with estimated GFR, generation rate (both P<0.001), age (P<0.05), and sex (P<0.05).ConclusionsEstimated GFR provides an acceptable estimate of renal clearance of p-cresyl sulfate and indoxyl sulfate. Remarkably, clearances of indoxyl sulfate exceed clearances of p-cresyl sulfate by approximately threefold, suggesting substantial differences between tubular transporter affinities and/or involvement of separate transporter systems for p-cresyl sulfate and indoxyl sulfate.

Project description:Indoxyl sulfate (IS) and p-cresyl sulfate (PCS), protein-bound uremic toxins, exacerbate the deterioration of renal function and increase the risk of cardiovascular events in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. The effects of microbiota-driven therapy (probiotics, prebiotics, or synbiotics) on decreasing circulating IS and PCS concentrations are controversial; thus, we performed the present systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the effects of microbiota-driven therapy on circulating IS and PCS concentrations in CKD patients. PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library databases were systematically searched from inception to 22 July, 2021, and randomized controlled trials (RCTs) investigating the effects of microbiota-driven therapy on circulating IS and PCS concentrations in CKD patients were included. In all, 14 RCTs with 513 participants were eligible for the meta-analysis. The effects of microbiota-driven therapy on the circulating IS and PCS concentrations were evaluated with weighted mean differences (WMDs) measured by a fixed-effects model or a random-effects model. Compared with placebo, microbiota-driven therapy had no statistically significant effect on the circulating IS concentration (WMD: -1.64 mg/L; 95% CI: -3.46, 0.18 mg/L; P = 0.077) but it decreased the circulating PCS concentration (WMD: -2.42 mg/L; 95% CI: -3.81, -1.04 mg/L; P = 0.001). In the subgroup analyses, prebiotic (n = 6) and synbiotic (n = 3) supplementation significantly decreased the circulating PCS concentration, whereas probiotic (n = 3) supplementation did not. Meta-regression showed that the effects of microbiota-driven therapy were not associated with the supplementation time or the year of publication. Moreover, there was no significant evidence of publication bias. This review found that microbiota-driven therapy decreased the circulating PCS concentration in CKD patients. Additional large, well-designed RCTs with improved methodology and reporting are necessary to assess the effects of microbiota-driven therapy on circulating IS and PCS concentrations in the long term.
