The excretion of trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) (uremic toxin) into the intestine might be enhanced, due to the limited renal elimination in chronic kidney disease (CKD), possibly induced TMAO reductase (a TMAO-neutralizing enzyme) in gut bacteria. Detection of TMAO reductase in serum could be used as a biomarker of gut permeability defect.
