Abstract
The impact of fungi in the intestine on acute uremia was demonstrated by the oral administration of Candida albicans in mice with the removal of both kidneys. Because fungi in the mouse intestine are less abundant than in humans, a Candida -administered mouse model has more resemblance to patient conditions.
