Gut check: dialysis Patients' microbiome under the microscope
NCT ID NCT06877585
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 58 adults on hemodialysis to understand how the mix of bacteria in their gut relates to waste products in their blood. Researchers measured different types of gut bacteria and chemicals they produce, like short-chain fatty acids and uremic toxins. The goal was to learn more about these connections, not to test a new treatment.
