Jian-Pi-Yi-Shen formula improves kidney function by regulating gut microbiome in rats with chronic kidney disease by Yuzhi Wang, Jiandong Lu, Wenkui Dai, Shudong Yang, Shudong Yang

“…Co-occurrence analysis linked SCR positively with toxin-associated CIGs (CIG3, 6, 7, 9, 10) and pathways (purine metabolism, toluene degradation), and negatively with CIG4.DiscussionThese results demonstrate that JPYSF lowers SCR and selectively modulates GM modules, particularly CIG4, which inversely correlates with uremic toxin–producing pathways, suggesting improved renal function and specific gut microbiota modulation in CKD rats.…”
