Vicious circle of AKI and intestinal microbiota dysbiosis. AKI profoundly alters enteric microbial compositional disruption, and the kidney can also be the direct target of intestinal microbiota dysbiosis by intestinal barrier disruption and excessive secretion of uremic toxins and triggers immune response.

(LPS: lipopolysaccharide; TJs: tight intercellular junctions; JAMs: junctional adhesion molecules; MLCK: myosin light chain kinase; SCFAs: short-chain fatty acids; PCS: p-cresyl sulfate; IS: indoxyl sulfate; TMAO: trimethylamine-N-oxide; AKI: acute kidney injury; CKD: chronic kidney disease).
