Identification of a novel interplay between intestinal bacteria and metabolites in Chinese patients with IgA nephropathy via integrated microbiome and metabolome approaches

Is there any link between dysbiosis and IgA nephropathy? This study from China shows that gut of patients with IgAN have higher levels of Streptococcus and Enterococcus and lower levels of Bacteroidetes and Bacteroides. The study also showed mulitple metabolites that generate from the gut microbiota and are associated with IgAN
