Heatmaps showing correlations between differentially abundant microbiota genera and chronic kidney disease (CKD) clinical parameters. Correlations were demonstrated between various differentially abundant fecal microbiota genera and (A) the specified CKD clinical characteristics, and (B) the production of inflammatory cytokines. BUN, blood urea nitrogen; CO2CP, carbon dioxide combining power; CysC, Cystatin C; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; IL, Interleukin; SCr, Serum creatinine. Spearman test, *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01.
