Effect of Probiotic Supplementation on Azotemia and Proteinuria in Patients with Diabetic Kidney Disease: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Key takeaways

This was a randomized trial of probiotics, the live bacteria found in supplements and yogurt, in people whose kidneys were damaged by diabetes. It measured waste products building up in the blood (azotemia) and protein leaking into the urine (proteinuria). Randomized means people were assigned by chance, which is the fairer test. The record we have does not list how many people took part or how long they were followed, so the strength of the result cannot be judged yet.
