Probiotic, prebiotic and synbiotic supplementation improve oxidative stress in patients with chronic kidney disease

Afbeelding

Objectives:
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major health problem worldwide. Evidence supporting the use of probiotic, prebiotic and synbiotic supplementation in the management of CKD is mixed, although some studies suggest they may be useful. Therefore, this review article has been conducted.

Do probiotic, prebiotic and synbiotic supplementation improve cardiometabolic and oxidative stress parameters in patients with chronic kidney disease?  

Study design:
This review article included 14 RCTs.

Results and conclusions:
The investigators found in patients with chronic kidney disease, probiotic, prebiotic and synbiotic supplementation significantly reduced:
-total cholesterol [SMD = -0.25, 95% CI = -0.46 to -0.04, I2 = 00.0%];
-fasting blood glucose [SMD = -0.41, 95% CI = -0.65 to -0.17, I2 = 00.0%];
-homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance [SMD = -0.63, 95% CI = -0.95 to -0.30, I2 = 43.3%];
-insulin levels [SMD = -0.49, 95% CI = -0.90 to -0.08, I2 = 65.2%];
-high-sensitivity C-reactive protein levels [SMD = -0.52, 95% CI = -0.81 to -0.22, I2 = 52.7%] and;
-malondialdehyde levels [SMD = -0.79, 95% CI = -1.22 to -0.37, I2 = 69.8%] compared with control interventions.

The investigators found in patients with chronic kidney disease, probiotic, prebiotic and synbiotic supplementation significantly increased:
-the quantitative insulin sensitivity check index [SMD = 0.78, 95% CI = 0.51 to 1.05, I2 = 00.0%];
-total antioxidant capacity [SMD = 0.42, 95% CI = 0.18 to 0.66, I2 = 00.0%] and;
-glutathione levels [SMD = 0.52, 95% CI = 0.19 to 0.86, I2 = 37.0%].

The investigators concluded probiotic, prebiotic and synbiotic supplementation improve cardiometabolic and oxidative stress parameters in patients with chronic kidney disease.

Levels of malondialdehyde can be also considered (as a marker of lipid peroxidation) to assess the membrane damage in spermatozoa; this is crucial because oxidative stress affects sperm function by altering membrane fluidity, permeability and impairing sperm functional competence.
Lipid peroxidation is a well-established mechanism of cellular injury and is used as an indicator of oxidative stress in cells and tissues.

Glutathione is one of the body's most important and potent antioxidants. As an antioxidant, glutathione helps neutralize free radicals and reduce oxidative stress that can damage the body’s cells.

Homeostasis model assessment (HOMA) and quantitative insulin sensitivity check index (QUICKI) have been used to quantify degrees of insulin resistance and β-cell secretory capacity.
