    Chronic Kidney Disease-Mineral and Bone Disorder (CKD-MBD) is driven by gut microbiota dysbiosis, impacting mineral metabolism and bone health.

  • 2

    Dysbiosis leads to chronic inflammation and the accumulation of uremic toxins, exacerbating renal injury and abnormal bone metabolism.

  • 3

    The gut-kidney-bone axis illustrates the interconnectedness of these organs, with gut microbiota mediating crosstalk through metabolites and immune signals.

  • 4

    Shared dysbiosis characteristics in CKD, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and osteoporosis contribute to chronic inflammation and metabolic disorders.

  • 5

    Targeting gut microbiota through interventions like probiotics and dietary changes shows promise for improving bone health and managing CKD.
