Reduced protein bound uraemic toxins in vegetarian kidney failure patients treated by haemodiafiltration

Discussion Plasma IS and PCS concentrations were not lower with Ol‐HDF compared to previous studies in haemodialysis patients. However those eating a vegetarian diet had reduced IS and PCS concentrations. Although this could be due to differences in dietary protein intake, a vegetarian diet may also potentially reduce IS and PCS production by the intestinal microbiome.
