Gut dysbiosis, low-grade inflammation, and renal impairment severity in elderly diabetic nephropathy
The onset and progression of DN in older patients with diabetes are closely associated with gut microbiota composition. The more severe the dysbiosis, the lower the abundance of beneficial bacteria and the higher the abundance of harmful bacteria, leading to an increased risk of both DN occurrence and disease progression.
