The relationship between serum oxalic acid, central hemodynamic parameters and colonization by Oxalobacter formigenes in hemodialysis patients
Together, these studies highlight the complex interplay between CKD, neuroinflammation, and gut-derived signals, providing strong evidence that the gut microbiota and its metabolites play a significant role in promoting neuroinflammatory processes in CKD, which in turn contribute to cognitive decline and neurodegenerative changes
