| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The protein energy malnutrition in chronic kidney disease (CKD) is caused by inflammation, and it may be associated with increased intestinal permeability. The present study investigated the method for evaluating the intestinal permeability and the effect of prebiotics and probiotics on the intestinal permeability and inflammation in CKD rats. The results showed that the intestinal permeability can be examined using 4kD FITC-dextrin. Although the intestinal permeability increased with the progression of renal failure, the inflammation increased earlier than the intestinal permeability, suggesting the inflammation preceded the increased intestinal permeability. The administration of prebiotics and probiotics improved inflammation and renal function although the reason remained to be investigated.
