Abstract
⺠Uremia changes the gut microbiome which is a major source of several toxic solutes. ⺠Effect of uremia on gaseous byproducts of microbiome is unknown and was studied here. ⺠Over 50 gases were detected in rats' exhaled breath and 36 gases in rats' cultured feces. ⺠Several fecal and exhaled breath gases were different between uremic and control rats. ⺠Value of these gases as biomarkers of kidney disease requires further investigation.
