As a result, an uptick in the clinical and healthcare burdens related to this complication is expected in the coming years that will greatly affect the healthcare systems.1 In Mexico in 2009, the Clinical guidelines on HE diagnosis and treatment were published in 3 parts, divided into (1) generalities,2 (2) pathophysiology and diagnosis,3 and (3) treatment and future perspectives.4 After nearly 14 years, an update is now indispensable, given the scientific advances that have come about over that period of time, resulting in numerous new developments in diagnostic and therapeutic tools that are now essential for daily clinical practice
Additionally, the depletion of SCFA might result from an overgrowth of D-lactate producing bacteria, which are found at elevated levels in ME/CFS patients and have been studied previously [36]

Mechanistically, GLPs exert renoprotective effects by suppressing the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling cascade, promoting autophagicevidenced by increased Beclin-1 expression and LC3-II/LC3-I ratio, along with decreased p62 accumulationwhile simultaneously attenuating apoptotic activity (reducing caspase-3 and caspase-9 levels) and dampening pro-inflammatory responses (lowering IL-6, IL-1, and TNF-)
