Summary

This study collected stool samples from 20 people with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) to test whether probiotics can reduce harmful uremic toxins. The researchers used an artificial intestine to compare toxin levels with and without a probiotic supplement. The goal is to find a new way to lower these toxins, which cause heart problems, without relying on dialysis.
