Association between Fibre Intake and Indoxyl Sulphate/P-cresyl Sulphate in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease: Meta-analysis and Systematic Review of Experimental Studies

Indoxyl sulphate (IS) and p-cresyl sulphate (PCS), which are difficult to excrete adequately out of the body, are closely related to the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and various deuteropathy. Better than peritoneal dialysis (PD) and haemodialysis (HD), dietary fibre has been considered to reduce IS and PCS levels. In view of the absence of formal recommendations on fibre intake in CKD nutritional guidelines, we conducted this meta-analysis to assess the effects of dietary fibre on IS and PCS for CKD patients.
