Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a severe microvascular complication of diabetes with a complex pathogenesis.
Recent studies were reviewed to explore the role of gut microbiota and its metabolites in DN development.
Dysbiosis of gut bacteria contributes to pathological changes such as glomerular sclerosis and renal tubule injury. Microbial metabolites are involved in DN through immune and inflammatory pathways.
Understanding the relationship between gut microbiota, its metabolites, and DN may offer potential implications for DN diagnosis, prevention, and treatment. Translating this knowledge into clinical practice presents challenges and opportunities.
糖尿病肾病(DN)是糖尿病严重的微血管并发症,其发病机制复杂。
回顾近期研究以探讨肠道微生物群及其代谢产物在DN发生发展中的作用。
肠道细菌失调会导致肾小球硬化和肾小管损伤等病理变化。微生物代谢产物通过免疫和炎症途径参与DN的发生。
了解肠道微生物群及其代谢产物与DN之间的关系可能为DN的诊断、预防和治疗提供潜在启示。将这一知识转化为临床实践既存在挑战也带来机遇。
