There is increasing evidence supporting the relationship between imbalance of gut microbiota and development of chronic kidney and cardiovascular diseases. This study aimed to investigate the effect of synbiotic supplementation on plasma levels of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and cardiovascular risk factors in hemodialysis (HD) patients. In this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial, 36 HD patients were randomly allocated into two groups to receive two synbiotic supplements ( = 19) or placebo ( = 17) daily for 12 weeks. Levels of AGEs, fibrinogen, hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), and other measures were assessed at the beginning and end of the study. The data were analyzed using independent t-tests, paired t-tests, and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). At the end of the study, the plasma levels of AGEs increased significantly in both the synbiotic ( < .001) and control ( = .001) groups, but the difference between the groups was not significant ( = .272). Plasma levels of fibrinogen decreased specifically within the synbiotic group ( = .007), and a statistically significant disparity between the groups persisted at the study's conclusion ( = .016). The mean levels of blood urea nitrogen (BUN) decreased ( < .05) in both groups, but there was no difference between the two groups at the end of the study ( = .116). No significant differences were observed in other measured biomarkers. Synbiotic supplementation improved plasma fibrinogen and BUN levels in HD patients, but did not significantly improve AGEs and HbA1c. Further investigations are needed to investigate the effect of probiotics on AGEs in HD patients at different stages of kidney disease.
越来越多的证据支持肠道微生物群失衡与慢性肾脏疾病和心血管疾病发展之间的关系。本研究旨在探讨补充合生元对血液透析(HD)患者血浆晚期糖基化终产物(AGEs)水平和心血管危险因素的影响。在这项随机、双盲、安慰剂对照临床试验中,36例HD患者被随机分为两组,每天分别接受两种合生元补充剂(n = 19)或安慰剂(n = 17),为期12周。在研究开始和结束时评估AGEs、纤维蛋白原、糖化血红蛋白(HbA1c)水平及其他指标。数据采用独立t检验、配对t检验和协方差分析(ANCOVA)进行分析。研究结束时,合生元组(P <.001)和对照组(P =.001)的血浆AGEs水平均显著升高,但两组之间的差异不显著(P =.272)。合生元组内纤维蛋白原血浆水平显著降低(P =.007),研究结束时两组之间存在统计学显著差异(P =.016)。两组血尿素氮(BUN)平均水平均下降(P <.05),但研究结束时两组之间无差异(P =.116)。在其他测量的生物标志物中未观察到显著差异。补充合生元可改善HD患者的血浆纤维蛋白原和BUN水平,但未显著改善AGEs和HbA1c。需要进一步研究以探讨益生菌对处于不同肾病阶段的HD患者AGEs的影响。
