Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is characterized by a gradual decrease in the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and proteinuria. CKD is a global health problem, and its incidence has been increasing. The estimated global prevalence of CKD is 8-14%. When kidney function deteriorates gradually, many metabolites accumulate in the body. These accumulated substances, termed as uremic toxins (UTs), can result in adverse pathophysiological outcomes. UTs can affect multiple organs and cause renal fibrosis, vascular calcification, anemia, peripheral arterial disease, adynamic bone disease, adipocyte dysfunction with insulin resistance, impaired immune system, and uremic pruritus.~The pathophysiological mechanisms through which UTs cause multiple organ damage are complex and not completely understood. These mechanisms may include inflammation, reactive oxidative stress, cellular transdifferentiation, impaired mitochondria function, intestinal barrier destruction, and changes in intestinal microbiota.
