Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This article discusses the findings presented by Zhang et al . They analyzed the risk factors and clinical characteristics associated with Klebsiella pneumoniae infection in patients with liver cirrhosis treated at a hospital in Beijing. In this article, we focus on the connection between chronic kidney disease and the intestinal microbiota, and propose microbiota transplantation as a potential treatment for this patient group. We also examine an intriguing phenomenon related to hepatic encephalopathy, and provide insights into the future research.
