CRP and chronic kidney disease: A recent meta-analysis evaluated the effects of probiotic, prebiotic and synbiotic supplements on systemic inflammatory biomarkers [i.e. C-reactive protein (CRP)], oxidative stress status [i.e. malondialdehyde (MDA)], total antioxidant capacity (TAC), total glutathione (GSH)] and on the lipid profile [i.e. triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol] among patients with CKD.
