INTRODUCTION: High indoxyl sulfate (IS) concentration is a serious problem for patients with CKD increasing the risk of cardiovascular diseases and CKD progression. Thus, the methods of decreasing the toxin concentrations are highly desired. The study aimed to discover the role of selected intestine-related factors on IS concentration. METHODS: We evaluated the impact of ABCG2 and ABCC2 polymorphisms influencing activity and protein intake by normalized protein catabolic rate. Additionally, we examined the relation of IS and uric acid (UA) that can share common elimination transporters. A monocentric, prospective, open cohort pilot study was performed on 108 patients undergoing dialysis treatment. RESULTS: The positive effect of residual diuresis on the reduction of IS levels was confirmed (p = 0.005). Also, an increase in IS depending on the dietary protein intake was confirmed (p = 0.040). No significant correlation between ABC gene polymorphisms was observed either, suggesting the negligible role of ABCG2 and ABCC2 in the elimination of IS in small bowel. The significant difference was observed for UA where ABCG2 421C>A (rs72552713) gene polymorphism was higher (505.3 μmol/L) in comparison with a wild-type genotype (360.5 μmol/L). CONCLUSION: No evidence of bowel elimination pathway via ABCC2 and ABCG2 transporters was found in renal replacement therapy patients.
The study is focused on optimization and validation of methods for determination of toxic indoxyl sulfate in human urine and blood serum. Samples were analyzed using HPLC/ED-DAD system after the biological matrix had been pretreated. Validated methods were successfully tested on samples from healthy people as well as from dialyzed patients. The aim was to monitor both indoxyl sulfate levels and impact of various methods for elimination of this toxin from patients with renal disease.
Indoxyl sulfate has been identified as a major factor in the dysregulation of several genes. It is classified as a poorly dialyzable uremic toxin and thus a leading cause in the poor survival rate of dialysis patients. A monocentric, prospective, open cohort study was performed in 43 male patients undergoing chronic renal replacement therapy in a single hemodialysis center. The aim of the study was to determine the influence of acetate- versus citrate-buffered dialysis fluids in hemodialysis (HD) and postdilution hemodiafiltration (HDF) settings on the elimination of indoxyl sulfate. Also, additional factors potentially influencing the serum concentration of indoxyl sulfate were evaluated. For this purpose, the predialysis and postdialysis concentration ratio of indoxyl sulfate and total protein was determined. The difference was of 1.15 (0.61; 2.10), 0.89 (0.53; 1.66), 0.32 (0.07; 0.63), and 0.44 (0.27; 0.77) μmol/g in acetate HD and HDF and citrate HD and HDF, respectively. Acetate HD and HDF were superior when concerning IS elimination when compared to citrate HD and HDF. Moreover, residual diuresis was determined as the only predictor of lower indoxyl sulfate concentration, suggesting that it should be preserved as long as possible. This trial is registered with EU PAS Register of Studies EUPAS23714.
