Background
Uremic symptoms are common in patients with advanced CKD, but the toxins that cause these symptoms are unknown.
Methods
We measured metabolites in participants of the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) with measured GFR < 20 ml/min/1.73 m2 (N=216), using an untargeted LC/MS/MS platform. We determined the association of 667 metabolites with uremic symptom scores using linear regression adjusting for clinical factors and accounting for multiple comparisons.
Results
The mean age of the participants was 52 years and 81% were white. Uremic symptoms were common. 80% of participants had at least 1 uremic symptom. Metabolites associated with uremic symptoms are presented in the accompanying table.
Conclusion
We identified several metabolites associated with uremic toxins. Metabolomics has the potential to identify toxins that cause uremic symptoms.
