Intestinal Dysbiosis Induced Chronic Inflammation that Risk up Oxalate Nephropathy
Author(s): Shruti Gupta and Shamsher Singh Kanwar*
Oxalate nephropathy is a devastating renal disease with poor prognosis which can often cause a gradual kidney
dysfunction with a significant risk of End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD). Typically associated with chronic interstitial
nephritis or fibrosis as well as acute kidney injury, oxalate nephropathy is characterized by deposition of Calcium
oxalate (CaOx) crystals in kidney tubules. The gut plays a significant role in oxalate handling. Dysbiosis induced
oxidative stress, systemic inflammation and lack of oxalate degrading bacteria remarkably contributes to the oxalate
nephropathy. Here we propose a microbiome-centric theory of oxalate nephropathy where initial adaptive changes
in gut microbiome embark chronic inflammation in later stage, leading to Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)-related
complication such as oxalate nephropathy... View More»
