In this study we examined the relationship of blood brain and intestinal barrier dysfunction in relation to uraemic environment and increased risk of developing neurologic complications and mortality. In addition, potential proteins conferring the junctional communications were assessed. Method The study included serum samples from 216 prevalent haemodialysis (HD), 80 peritoneal dialysis (PD) and 80 healthy subjects. Permeability of the BBB was evaluated by measuring serum concentrations for brain-specific biomarkers S100B, NSE (neuron specific enolase), BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor), GFAP (glial fibrillary acidic protein) using ELISA. TMAO (trimethylamine-N-Oxide) as a surrogate of gut generated uraemic toxins was ...
