Primary outcomePrimary: Change in Plasma Concentration Measure of Indoxyl Sulphate (IS) — -25.31; 9.71 µM/ml
Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine if multiple doses of vancomycin over the course of 3 months will perturb the intestinal flora (microbiome) and result in reduced serum concentration of the uremic toxin indoxyl sulfate and p-cresyl sulfate. The design of the study will permit investigators to assess the variability of serum uremic retention solute concentrations with and without antibiotic over a three-month period.
