摘要: 慢性肾脏病(Chronic kidney disease, CKD)已成为全球性健康危机,寻求延缓肾功能衰竭的干预靶点至关重要。“肠–肾轴”稳态失衡及其介导的代谢紊乱是CKD进展的核心病理环节。在尿毒症微环境下,肠道菌群失调产生的有害代谢物,如硫酸吲哚酚(Indoxyl sulfate, IS)、硫酸对甲酚(p-Cresyl sulfate, PCS)、氧化三甲胺(Trimethylamine N-oxide, TMAO)等,通过诱导氧化应激、炎症反应加速了肾脏纤维化进程,与此同时,短链脂肪酸(Short-chain fatty acids, SCFA)等保护性代谢物的匮乏则削弱了机体的抗炎免疫屏障。本文系统综述了上述代谢产物的分子机制,通过饮食干预、益生微生态制剂、粪菌移植及新型靶向药物重塑肠道稳态的治疗前景,旨在为CKD的临床诊疗与精准干预提供理论依据。
Abstract: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has emerged as a global health crisis, making the search for interven-tion targets to delay renal failure of paramount importance. The homeostatic imbalance of the “gut-kidney axis” and its mediated metabolic disturbances represent core pathological links in CKD progression. Within the uremic microenvironment, deleterious metabolites generated by gut dysbiosis—such as indoxyl sulfate (IS), p-cresyl sulfate (PCS), and trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO)—accelerate the process of renal fibrosis by inducing oxidative stress and inflammatory re-sponses. Concurrently, the deficiency of protective metabolites, such as short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), weakens the host’s anti-inflammatory immune barrier. This article systematically reviews the molecular mechanisms of these metabolites and explores the therapeutic prospects of remod-eling intestinal homeostasis through dietary intervention, probiotic/prebiotic microecological agents, fecal microbiota transplantation, and novel targeted drugs, aiming to provide a theoretical basis for clinical diagnosis, treatment, and precision intervention in CKD.
