Popis: Background and Aims Gut microbiota composition is dysregulated in hemodialysis patients. However, the impact of potassium homeostasis on the gut microbiota and their metabolites has not been studied. Patiromer is a potassium binding polymer that exchanges calcium for potassium in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, thereby increasing fecal potassium excretion and reducing serum potassium levels. Method In this non-randomized, open label, 3-period crossover trial with repeated measures within each period, we investigated the effect of 12 weeks of treatment with patiromer on the microbiome profile and microbiota-related metabolites in 27 hemodialysis patients using multi-omics integration of data from shotgun metagenomic sequencing and untargeted and targeted metabolomic profiling. Data from hemodialysis patients at baseline was first compared with individuals without kidney disease (n=20). Results We found that 18 bacterial species and 49 plasma chemical clusters were significantly different between patients and controls. Serum potassium decreased significantly from baseline (5.62±0.65 mEq/L) with patiromer treatment (4.80±0.46 meq/L) and increased during the post-treatment phase (5.45 ± 0.67 meq/L), (p Conclusion Our study suggests that control of hyperkalemia by patiromer alters the gut microbial composition and host co-metabolism in hemodialysis patients.
