This study tests whether taking a special mix of friendly bacteria and prebiotics (called synbiotics) can help improve gut health in people on hemodialysis. It may reduce inflammation and other complications related to kidney disease.
This study tests whether taking a probiotic (a healthy bacteria supplement) can help people with kidney failure on dialysis respond better to erythropoietin, a medicine that treats anemia (low red blood cells). If the probiotic works, it could reduce the need for high doses of this medicine and improve your energy levels.
