Understanding the gut –kidney axis among biopsy-proven diabetic nephropathy, type 2 diabetes mellitus and healthy controls: an analysis of the gut microbiota composition

ConclusionGut microbiota composition was explored to be related to the occurrence of biopsy-proven DN from DM. DM could be distinguished from HC by detectingg_Prevotella_9 level in feces, while DN was different from DM by the variables ofg_Escherichia-Shigella andg_Prevotella_9, which potentially contributed to the physiopathological diagnosis of DN from DM.
