Interest in studying the role of the gastrointestinal tract in maintaining homeostasis in chronic kidney disease is a traditional one. It served, in particular, as a starting point for the creation of enterosorbents. However, if earlier the main attention was paid to the mechanical removal of a number of potentially dangerous biologically active substances, recently an intestinal microbiota has become an object of interest. The first part of the review of the literature on this topic is devoted to questions of terminology, the normal physiology of the colon microbiota. A detailed description of dysbiosis is given. The features of the main groups of microorganisms are reflected. The hypothetical and confirmed interrelations of the intestine-kidney axis are presented. The pathogenetic mechanisms of the influence of colon dysbiosis on the processes of local and systemic inflammation are discussed. The influence of dysbiosis on the state of the kidney parenchyma and its participation in the progression of CKD are debated.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is one of the most important risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Despite the kidney having no direct implications for lipoproteins metabolism, advanced CKD dyslipidemia is usually present in patients with CKD, and the frequent lipid and lipoprotein alterations occurring in these patients play a role of primary importance in the development of CVD. Although hypertriglyceridemia is the main disorder, a number of lipoprotein abnormalities occur in these patients. Different enzymes pathways and proteins involved in lipoprotein metabolism are impaired in CKD. In addition, treatment of uremia may modify the expression of lipoprotein pattern as well as determine acute changes. In renal transplantation recipients, the main lipid alteration is hypercholesterolemia, while hypertriglyceridemia is less pronounced. In this review we have analyzed lipid and lipoprotein disturbances in CKD and also their relationship with progression of renal disease. Hypolipidemic treatments may also change the natural history of CVD in CKD patients and may represent important strategies in the management of CKD patients.

Nutrition is crucial for the management of patients affected by chronic kidney disease to slow down disease progression and to correct symptoms. The mainstay of nutritional approach to renal patients is protein restriction coupled with adequate energy supply to prevent malnutrition. However, other aspects of renal diets, including fiber content, can be beneficial. This paper summarizes the latest literature on the relationship between the type of dietary fiber and prevention and management of CKD, with special attention to intestinal microbiota and the potential protective role of renal diets. A proper amount of fiber should be recommended not only in general population but also in chronic kidney disease patients, to asses an adequate composition and metabolism of intestinal microbiota and to reduce the risks connected with obesity, diabetes and dyslipidemia.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has become a global health issue, and there is increasing evidence showing the beneficial roles of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in CKD treatment. Here, we studied the renoprotective role of Mahuang decoction, a famous TCM prescription, in a rat CKD model induced with the combination of doxorubicin and adenine. Our data showed that intragastric administration of Mahuang decoction inhibited the loss of bodyweight and attenuated proteinuria, serum creatinine, and blood urea nitrogen in CKD rats. Kidney histological analysis revealed decreased tubulointerstitial injury and fibrosis in CKD rats treated with Mahuang decoction accompanied with suppressed expression of TGF-β1 and phosphorylated NF-κB/P65 (p-P65) as indicated by immunohistochemistry. ELISA analysis demonstrated reduced serum levels of proinflammatory cytokines TNFα and IL-6. Most importantly, intestinal microbiota analysis by 16s rRNA-seq showed that Mahuang decoction restored the impaired richness and diversity of intestinal microflora and recovered the disrupted microbial community through reducing the abundance of deleterious microbes and promoting the expansion of beneficial microbes in CKD rats. Collectively, our findings demonstrated that Mahuang decoction mitigated kidney functional and structural impairment in CKD rats which were associated with the restoration of dysbiosis of intestinal microbiota, implying its potential in clinical CKD treatment.

This review is devoted to the analysis of the role of adipokines in formation of pathological changes in renal function and structure. The patients with chronic kidney disease have a high risk of cardiovascular disease. Currently, the role of systemic hormonal and metabolic factors in the pathogenesis of the kidneys is growing. A promising area of pathogenetic prevention and treatment of kidney disease is an interdisciplinary approach, whereat the adipokine imbalance is of particular interest. Adipose tissue and its messengers, adipokines, are known to be highly associated with kidney disease. Adipocytes are metabolically active cells, producing the signaling lipids, metabolites and protein factors, i.e. adipokines. The interaction of adipose tissue with the kidney is called the adipose kidney axis, being important for the normal functioning of the body, as well as its response to an injury. It has a strong therapeutic potential in respect of the growing rates of chronic kidney disease. Adipocyte hypertrophy is often accompanied by the development of tissue fibrosis, hypoxia, and secretion of pro−inflammatory cytokines (such as tumor necrosis factor or interleukin, which triggers the cell inflammation). Dysfunction of adipose tissue contributes to the development of cardiovascular disease at the local and systemic levels. Thus, for the early diagnosis of chronic kidney disease into the diagnostic program, in addition to the generally accepted indices, the determination of adipokines: for example, serum leptin, adiponectin, omentin, visfatin, microalbuminuria, blood lipid spectrum, intrarenal and functional status of the kidneys with the assessment of functional renal reserve is recommended to be included. Early detection of the disease, new approaches to its diagnosis and treatment can help in reducing the risk of a high incidence and mortality from renal disease. Key words: chronic kidney disease, nephropathy, adipokines, leptin, resistin, adiponectin, visfatin, omentin.
