Fecal short-chain fatty acids and serum metabolites: the impact of COVID-19 infection on dialysis patients
COVID-19 infection in dialysis patients is associated with marked depletion of fecal SCFAs and broad perturbations of systemic metabolism, with persistent amino-acid-centered alterations among patients who develop LC. These findings offer a novel metabolic framework supporting the implementation of prolonged follow-up strategies to monitor and ameliorate persistent sequelae in this high-risk population.
