Introduction: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) seems to induce changes in the composition and metabolic activity of the gut microbiota and to impair the intestinal barrier function. Taking into account that several uremic toxins are originate from colonic fermentation, it has been suggested that these changes in the gut microbiota may contribute to amplify the accumulation of certain toxins, …
The gastrointestinal tract functions as a barrier between the external environment and the internal milieu of the body. The epithelial lining of the gastrointestinal tract forms a regulated, selectively permeable barrier permitting the passive entry of luminal nutrients, ions, and water while restricting pathogen access to underlying tissue compartments. In addition, intestinal epithelial…
Physical inactivity is an important risk factor for mortality and for the development and progression of many chronic diseases. Patients with chronic kidney disase (CKD, particularly those on dialysis therapy are shown to have a lower physical activity level when compared with healthy sedentary subjects. A number of clinical and psychological disturbances related to the disease contribute…

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is considered an increasing public health problem. Similarly, the prevalence of obesity is growing in overall population and even more in CKD patients. Nutritional management of Non-Dialysis Dependent (NDD) CKD requires various dietary modifications that may impact in quality of life and diet quality of the patients, representing a challenge for the health car…
Intestinal microbiome has been considered a new therapeutic target for chronic kidney disease (CKD) due to its potential role on the metabolic disturbances associated to the disease. The abnormalities in the microbiota, frequently found in patients with CKD, contribute to the accumulation of uremic toxins derived from the unbalanced fermentation of nitrogen compounds in relation to the no…
Introduction: Constipation is a gastrointestinal symptom of significant morbidity. The primary treatment is based on the adoption of a high fiber diet, liquids and physical activity. However, when this is not efficient, the use of laxatives is needed. The prevalence of constipation in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), especially those on hemodialysis (HD), is greater than in the…
