Alterations of gut microbiota in biopsy-proven diabetic nephropathy and a long history of diabetes without kidney damage

The gut microbiota is closely related to parenteral noncommunicable diseases through intestinal immunity and plays an important role in the occurrence of diabetes and diabetic nephropathy. The aim of the study was to understand the gut-kidney axis by an analysis of gut microbiota composition among patients with biopsy-proven diabetic nephropathy (DN), patients with type 2 diabetes for more than 10 years without kidney damage (DM), and healthy controls (NC). Thirty-five DN patients, 40 DM patients and 40 healthy subjects matched by age and sex were enrolled between January 2022 and December 2022. Baseline information and clinical parameters were collected. 16S rDNA sequencing was performed to characterize the gut microbiome and identify gut microbes that were differentially abundant between patients and healthy controls. The relationship between the relative abundance of specific bacterial taxa in the gut and clinical phenotype and pathological indicators was evaluated. Substantial differences were found in the richness of the gut microbiota and the variation in the bacterial population among DN patients, DM patients and healthy controls. DM patients could be accurately distinguished from age- and sex-matched healthy controls by variations in g_Clostridium-XVIII (AUC = 0.929), and DN patients could be accurately distinguished from age- and sex-matched healthy controls by variations in g_Gemmiger (AUC = 0.842). DN patients could be accurately distinguished from age- and sex-matched DM patients by variations in g_Flavonifractor or g_Eisenbergiella (AUC = 0.909 and 0.886, respectively). The gut microbiota was also closely related to clinical phenotypes and pathological indicators. The study of gut microbiota composition was explored to determine its relationship to the occurrence of DN and a long history of diabetes without kidney damage. The renal pathological progression of DN may be delayed by regulating changes in the gut microbiota.
