Uremic Toxin Metabolism
- Molecular classification
- Metabolic Pathway, Gut Microbiota Metabolism, Hepatic Metabolism, Renal Physiology, Enzyme Activity
01
Overview
Uremic toxin metabolism refers to the production, transformation, and elimination of a diverse group of endogenous metabolites that accumulate in the body when renal function declines. These toxins contribute to the clinical syndrome of uremia, exerting direct toxicity on multiple organ systems and promoting inflammation, oxidative stress, and vascular calcification. Therapeutic strategies target enhancing clearance, reducing production, or mitigating downstream toxic effects.

Mechanism of action
Varied; depends on the specific strategy: Enhanced toxin removal by dialysis/adsorption; Reduced toxin production by altering diet/gut microbiota; Inhibition of toxin signaling pathways (e.g., AhR)
