16S rRNA Gene Amplicon Sequencing Dataset of Gut Microbiota from Chronic Kidney Disease Patients and Healthy Controls in Baghdad, Iraq

This cross-sectional observational study includes clinical, socio-demographic, and high-throughput metagenomic sequencing data from 154 patients aged 18 to 70 years, recruited from Al-Karama Teaching Hospital, Al-Noor Center, and Al-Hayat Center. The dataset integrates structured questionnaire outputs, clinical profiles (including age, gender, body weight, smoking status, medical history, disease stage, serum creatinine levels, and GFR), and 16S rRNA gene sequencing data.

This dataset was generated to support the comparative metagenomic analysis of gut microbiota across different CKD stages. It enables comprehensive microbial profiling, including Alpha and Beta diversity indices, taxonomy distribution, and composition comparisons between CKD patients and healthy controls. The Mendeley Data repository contains both raw and processed datasets generated from the 16S rRNA sequencing analysis.
