The nutrition–microbiota–gut–kidney axis in acute kidney injury: molecular mechanisms, candidate biomarkers, and investigational intervention strategies

Key takeaways

This review pulls together what is known about how food and gut bacteria may affect sudden kidney injury, meaning a fast drop in kidney function over hours or days. It lists possible warning signs that could be measured in blood or urine, and treatments that are still only being tested. The work is a summary of existing studies, mostly early laboratory ones, and reports no new results in people.
