About this trial

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a long-term condition in which the kidneys gradually lose their ability to function properly. People with chronic kidney disease (CKD) often experience chronic inflammation and digestive symptoms that may affect their quality of life.

This study aims to evaluate whether daily supplementation with a synbiotic (a combination of probiotics and prebiotics) can reduce inflammation and improve gastrointestinal symptoms in adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD) stages 3 to 5 who are not receiving dialysis.

Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either a synbiotic containing Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Bifidobacterium longum, and agave fructans, or a placebo, for a total of 16 weeks. Blood tests will be performed to measure inflammation, and participants will complete questionnaires related to digestive symptoms, quality of life, and dietary habits.

The information obtained from this study may help improve nutritional strategies and supportive care for people living with chronic kidney disease.
