AI Article Synopsis

  • Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a growing global health issue with high rates of incidence and mortality, but current diagnostic methods are inadequate for predicting outcomes.
  • Indoxyl sulfate, a uremic toxin linked to CKD, poses risks such as nephrotoxicity, cardiovascular issues, and bone toxicity, potentially correlating with loss of kidney function and increased mortality.
  • The review highlights the importance of indoxyl sulfate in diagnostics, exploring its biological characteristics, effects on health, potential therapies, and relevance in clinical studies.

Article Abstract

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is an increasingly recognized disease with high global incidence and mortality. Yet, the existing diagnostic tools are not sufficient enough to predict prognosis of CKD and CKD comorbidities. Indoxyl sulfate, a typical uremic toxin, is of great importance in the development of CKD with its nephrotoxicity, cardiovascular toxicity, and bone toxicity. Some reports suggest that indoxyl sulfate directly associate with renal function loss and mortality in CKD patients. This review discusses the diagnostic value of indoxyl sulfate from its biological characteristics, pathophysiological effects, related therapies, and its diagnostic value in clinical studies.

Aging leads to nephron senescence and chronic kidney disease (CKD). In cats, indoxyl sulfate (IxS) has been previously quantified and associated with CKD, and little is known about tubular transporters. Two cohorts of cats aged 6 to 21 years were enrolled.

Pain is a frequent and disturbing symptom among hemodialysis patients. Protein-bound uremic toxins (PBUTs) are related to cardiovascular and overall mortality, and they are difficult to remove with current hemodialysis treatments. The PBUT displacers, such as furosemide, tryptophan, or ibuprofen, may be promising new strategies for improving their clearance.

The therapeutic benefit of the oral adsorbent drug AST-120 in chronic kidney disease (CKD) is related to an indoxyl sulfate (IS)-lowering action. Diabetes and dyslipidemia might worsen kidney damage in CKD. However, it is not known whether AST-120 influences lipid abnormalities as well as renal function in patients with CKD and diabetes.

Background: Microbiota-derived toxins indoxyl sulfate and hippuric acid were previously reported to be associated with altered pharmacokinetics of the immunosuppressant tacrolimus in liver transplant recipients, and ABC transporter proteins are likely to be involved in the transport of such substances, but the role has not been elucidated. The aim of this study was to assess the retention of indoxyl sulfate and hippuric acid in the plasma of liver transplantation subjects carrying different genotypes of and (changes in transporter activity due to genetic variation), and to explore whether genetic variation is involved in altering the relationship between microbe-derived toxins and tacrolimus pharmacokinetics.

Methods: Liver transplantation subjects treated with the immunosuppressive regimen tacrolimus, corticosteroids, and mycophyolate mofetil were included and divided into normal renal function group and chronic kidney disease group.
